👉 An expanding weapon, often referred to as a "smart bomb" or "dynamic explosive device," is a type of weapon that utilizes advanced technology to change its shape, size, or explosive characteristics once detonated. These weapons typically employ materials like shape-memory alloys or polymers that can alter their form in response to heat, pressure, or other stimuli. This adaptability allows them to target specific areas more precisely, increase their destructive power, or even avoid detection by conventional means. For instance, an expanding bomb might expand to a larger diameter upon detonation, increasing the area it covers and the force of its impact. This technology enhances military effectiveness by providing greater flexibility, precision, and lethality in various combat scenarios.
