News Excerpt:
India's newly developed most powerful non-nuclear bomb is 2x more lethal than TNT (Trinitrotoluene).
More About News:
- India has achieved a significant milestone in military technology with the development and certification of SEBEX 2, a cutting-edge explosive formulation.
- Certified by the Indian Navy, SEBEX 2 marks a leap forward in explosive power, boasting a TNT equivalent of 2.01.
- This places it among the most potent non-nuclear explosives globally, aimed at revolutionizing various munitions without compromising on weight.
Enhance India's military capabilities
- Developed by Economic Explosives Limited (EEL) under the Make in India initiative, SEBEX 2 utilizes a high-melting explosive (HMX) composition.
- This formulation significantly enhances the lethality of warheads, aerial bombs, artillery shells, and other munitions.
- SEBEX 2 has been evaluated, tested and certified by the Navy under its Defence Export Promotion Scheme.
- The development of the explosive enhanced the potency and efficiency of weapons and ammunition in use and that final certifications were completed last week..
Certifications and Future Developments
- SEBEX 2 has undergone rigorous testing and certification under the Indian Navy’s Defence Export Promotion Scheme, with final certifications recently completed. Economic Explosives Limited is also advancing towards developing another variant with a TNT equivalence of 2.3, slated for completion within six months.
- EEL is also working on another variant that will have an explosive power graded at 2.3 times of TNT and is confident it will be ready within six months.
Complementary Technologies
- In addition to SEBEX 2, the Indian Navy has certified SITBEX 1, a thermobaric explosive known for its extended blast duration and intense heat generation.
- This makes it highly effective in demolishing enemy bunkers, tunnels, and fortified positions. SIMEX 4, an insensitive munition, has also received certification, emphasizing safety in storage, transport, and operation.
Global Significance and Export Potential:
- The performance of SEBEX 2, coupled with advancements in SITBEX 1 and SIMEX 4, underscores India's growing stature in military technology innovation.
- These developments not only bolster national defense capabilities but also position India as a potential exporter of advanced explosive technologies.
- These new formulations can be a game-changer for our armed forces," officials noted, highlighting their potential impact on global security efforts.
- SEBEX 2 represents a pivotal advancement in India's military technology landscape, enhancing the country's defense capabilities and paving the way for strategic collaborations in global security.
- With ongoing developments and certifications, India is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of military explosives.
