The Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition (MAHEM) is a weapon being developed by DARPA that would utilize molten metal to penetrate enemy armor.[1] The molten metal would be propelled by electromagnetic fields from explosions.[2] The munition would be delivered to a target as a warhead "packaged into a missile, projectile or other platform." DARPA predicts the weapon will have greater efficiency, control, and precision than conventional explosively formed penetrators.[3]
