Abstract

A bomb and penetrating warhead ("PW") casings is disclosed that has three or more exterior facets the may be straight or spiraling which results in a stronger, tougher structure that will increase the overall performance of the bomb or PW casing in delivering the desired destructive power to a selected target. The bomb and PW casings also have the advantage of being lighter in weight that conventional bomb structure but yet provide the desired destructive power to the selected target.
