BRAKER breakthrough: New air-delivered bunker busting warhead tests successfully
The US Army has successfully tested a new air-delivered bunker busting warhead called BRAKER, designed to be deployed from a small drone. The warhead was developed and tested in just two weeks, showcasing the Army's rapid innovation capabilities.
The US Army has tested a new warhead designed for delivery by unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The Bunker Rupture and Kinetic Explosive Round (BRAKER) was tested at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama on March 26. The BRAKER project aimed to create a lightweight, powerful warhead deployable from small drones. The development was led by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center and took just two weeks from concept to live-fire. The rapid development was made possible by additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. The successful test demonstrates a new capability for modern warfighters and shows how engineers can quickly design and integrate hardware to meet urgent needs.
