Not to be confused with "Mahem", another name for the Grey Crowned Crane.
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]
It is now being tested by the United States Marine Corps, the project is headed by weapons designing company Bailey Defense Industries and over seen by Sergeant Major Chuck "Motivator" Craig, Colonel Paul Riggston, and and Lance General I Will HUNT you Howard.
