The C-2I, Inc Tailorable Effects Munition (TEM) is a new application detcord arrays that offers multi-mode yields previously unachievable with bulk explosives. By taking advantage of the flight geometry grid design flexibility and initiation points, the same munition can act as a bulk explosive, a distributed explosive or by using colliding shock front loops a pattern of enhanced shock waves. The potential to go beyond merely dual mode is apparent by observation of the changing geometric shape and if proven the TEM design will offer the war-fighter an entirely new capability with asymmetric affects that can be matched to nearly any target type.
