AFRL Develops Directional Fusing for A

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is looking at fuses and configurations that would allow a warhead to direct the bulk of its shrapnel toward the target, as opposed to distributing it more or less evenly in all directions.

This intended to be a part of the Joint Dual-Role Air Dominance Missile (JDRADM), a missile intended to replace both the AMRAAM AAM and the HARM ARM.

I'm a bit dubious of packaging both of these roles into one missile, but the fusing and warhead tech here looks promising.
