ORM FAMILY — NEXT GENERATION ENERGETICS
ORM
FAMILY
Mjolner's reactive-materials programme focused on advanced shaped-charge and related target-effect applications. Amorphous-alloy casting expertise applied to liner architectures designed for mission-specific tuning of penetration, perforation behaviour, and terminal effects.

- SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A configurable reactive
material platform.
ORM represents a next-generation warhead liner technology — designed for shaped-charge and related applications where total target effect matters more than penetration alone.
The platform supports mission-specific tuning based on the target set and desired effect. ORM is designed not just for penetration, but for integrated target effect — combining shaped-charge performance with thermal overpressure via internal combustion effects after penetration.

- TECHNICAL FOUNDATION
Why amorphous alloy.
ORM's material architecture enables properties that conventional liner materials cannot match.
01
Higher Density
Amorphous alloy liners achieve higher areal density than copper at equivalent geometry, directly increasing jet momentum and penetration capability.
02
Controlled Ductility
The amorphous microstructure enables better control of jet formation and elongation behaviour — producing more coherent, faster jets.
03
Combustion Effect
ORM generates thermal overpressure through material combustion. Terminal effect extends beyond the penetration channel into the protected volume.
04
Castability
ORM enables precise net-shape fabrication of complex liner geometries that are difficult to achieve with conventional liner materials.
05
Configurability
Density, geometry, and material formulation can be independently tuned for each mission variant.
06
Legacy Integration
ORM liners are designed to drop into existing munition bodies with minimal modification.
- ROADMAP
The ORM programme
extends further.
The current ORM liner family represents the first phase of Mjolner's reactive materials programme. The broader roadmap extends into novel munition architectures where every gram of the payload is utilised.
Phase 1 Liner Family — Current
Four mission variants in active development and validation. Anti-armour, bunker, UAS compact, and multi-use configurations.
Phase 2 Structural Munition Bodies
ORM-HEA extends into the munition body itself — where every gram of the payload contributes to terminal effect rather than inert structure.
Phase 3 APDS / APFSDS
BMG technology elevates WC-based APDS/APFSDS penetrators to performance approaching that of depleted uranium.
