Abstract

Rod warhead systems and associated methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a projectile having an arrangement of rods is propelled along a trajectory toward an object. The arrangement of rods is radially expanded from a first position to a second position prior to the projectile impacting the object. The arrangement of rods impacts the object to breach at least a portion of the object. In a further embodiment, the arrangement of rods is expanded from the first position to the second position using a nonexplosive means. In another embodiment, the projectile includes a follow-up explosive device that applies an explosive force proximate to the object after the arrangement of rods impacts the object.
