Grenades, Warheads and Energetics

Nammo Flare Ignition pellets are civilian pyrotechnical articles, designed solely to ignite flare gas by directing a large cloud of high-temperature sparks at the gas. The high-temperature sparks (60 degrees cone-shaped – 20 m) are released upon their exit from the Pellet Collector, and burn for a maximum of 6 seconds.
Nammo has proven technology to develop, qualify and manufacture advanced Warheads for different applications.
APOBS, or the "Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System MK 7 MOD 2" is a self-contained, one-shot, expendable linear demolition charge, capable of safely clearing a footpath through anti-personnel mines and multi-strand wire obstacles.
Training Hand Grenades provide a low cost and realistic option for instructing soldiers in the proper and safe handling of hand grenades. These training grenades use production parts and inert fill to match tactical grenades with the correct weight and balance.
DRS is a safe and simple one-shot device for underwater signaling. It is used by diver support personnel on the surface to create an acoustic pulse underwater in the event of an incident that requires divers to exit the water.
This grenade supplements small arms fire in close combat scenarios. It causes casualties with a high-velocity projection of fragments in a uniform distribution pattern. The 63.5 mm diameter steel sphere contains 6.5 oz of highly explosive filler, and is fitted with a fuze that initiates the charge. It has a delay time of 4–5 seconds after the safety lever is released. The fragmentation gives the grenade a lethal radius of 5 m, causes casualties at up to 15 m, and disperses fragments as far away as 230 m.
The TTC Smoke Hand Grenade creates instant smoke and is less toxic compared to the conventional Smoke Hand Grenade. A rapid smoke screen is developed in less than one second from the burst.
The Nammo Ignition System is a non-electric, self-sufficient initiation system, insensitive to electrical and electromagnetic influence. The NIS Starter can, without any preparation, be directly combined with other types of Shock Tube Units for many different kinds of blasting operations, including EOD, cutting, demolition, fortification work and rock blasting operations. Single charges are initiated directly by the NIS Starter, while charges connected in parallel or in series are initiated via a connector unit that maximizes the number of combinations.
SOHG provides overpressure effects for a variety of uses by connecting one to three body modules together. Each module can be fuzed and grenades can be used either separately or by connecting up to three modules together.
HGO provides an intensive shock effect with a very limited number of fragments. These grenades are also used for light wall and door breaching and clearing of IEDs.
HGF is meant for defensive use and provides a dense cloud of fragments with a nearly even 360˚ distribution. The steel bodies are uniformly pre-fragmented to provide optimized penetration performance with a distribution of near-equal-sized fragments. With a compact size and weight, HGF165-3.5 is designed to be used in urban areas.
