We source explosive compositions supporting demanding defense, munitions and commercial applications through qualified materials, global sourcing, and program support.
Energetic compositions combine one or more explosive compounds with other materials to achieve characteristics suited to a particular defense application.
Global Military Products sources government and commercial requirements for bulk explosives and advanced energetic compositions through material sourcing, supplier coordination, custom packing, secure storage, logistics, and program support.
Building on energetic base compounds such as RDX, HMX, TNT, and PETN, these formulations support a range of munitions and specialized defense applications. The examples below highlight established composition families relevant to the broader energetics market GMP sources.
| Composition Family | Primary Energetic Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Composition A | RDX | RDX based compositions incorporating desensitizing and binding materials. |
| Composition B | RDX + TNT | Castable military explosive composition. |
| Composition C / C 4 | RDX | Plastic explosive compositions using RDX with plasticizing and binding materials. |
| Octol | HMX + TNT | HMX and TNT energetic composition. |
| Pentolite | PETN + TNT | PETN and TNT energetic composition. |
Ammunition & Warheads
Energetic compositions are used across numerous ammunition and warhead applications.
Demolition Systems
Specialized compositions support military demolition charges and related applications. The Army, for example, identifies C-4 and TNT charges within its demolition systems portfolio.
Mortar & Artillery Applications
Energetic compositions can support explosive fills and other energetic requirements associated with indirect-fire munitions.
Specialized Defense Applications
Different formulations allow energetic materials to be tailored around the characteristics required for particular systems and missions.
GMP supports complex energetics requirements through global sourcing, supplier coordination, program management, quality coordination, specialized packing, storage, and logistics.
Customers can contact GMP with information about their material, specification, quantity, packaging, schedule, and program requirements. GMP can evaluate available sourcing and program support options based on the specific requirement.
Energetic compositions are formulated materials that combine one or more energetic compounds with other ingredients to achieve characteristics required for specific defense and munitions applications.
Common energetic components include RDX, HMX, TNT, and PETN. Depending on the formulation, compositions may also incorporate binders, plasticizers, waxes, aluminum, or other materials to achieve specific physical and performance characteristics.
