Tungsten Alloy Defenses

Tungsten alloy defense technology in the area of thin-walled guided missiles allows bullets weighing 700 grams to hold 500 grams of effective load. The function of ejection stand off ammunition is to make a barrage out of the tungsten alloy defense, but not to markedly increase their kinetic energy. Nitrified fiber firing ammunition and a high intensity carbon steel ammunition cartridge endows the bullets with 1050metre/sec initial velocity.

Tungsten Military Application in Types of Weapons:

◆The GNU-44 Viper Strike missile, carried by armed drones, has a tungsten sleeve to produce powerful shrapnel.
◆The 130-round-per-second Phalanx anti-missile Gatling gun, deployed on U.S. and Royal Navy ships, originally used DU rounds. They were replaced with tungsten alloy, for environmental reasons.
◆120mm anti-tank rounds use tungsten military application as an alternative to DU in training. So do the 25mm anti-tank rounds, on board the M2/M3 Bradley fighting vehicle.
◆Armor-piercing .308 M993 rifle rounds.
◆The 120mm M1028 anti-personnel round, fired by the Abrams tank. It's basically a giant shotgun shell loaded with 1100 tungsten balls, each 3/8th of an inch big.
◆Dense Inert Metal Explosives, the "focused lethality" ammunition used by the U.S. and Israel. Tungsten military application contains micro-shrapnel made of tungsten powder.
◆Some 70mm rockets fired by Apache helicopters release tungsten military application flechette
