Known as SEBEX 2, this locally manufactured explosive has successfully passed certification tests conducted by the Indian Navy.
Developed by Economic Explosives Ltd (EEL) in Nagpur, a subsidiary of Solar Industries under the 'Make In India' initiative, SEBEX 2 aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of weapons and ammunition.
The development of new explosives aims to significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of weapons and ammunition, defense sources say.
According to sources, SEBEX 2 represents a breakthrough in conventional explosives technology. Experts say that, based on high melting point explosives (HMX), SEBEX 2 is touted as one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosives in the world. It offers approximately 2.01 times the lethality of standard TNT, making it highly sought after to improve the firepower of bombs, artillery shells and warheads without increasing their weight.
SEBEX 2 has the potential to revolutionize military capabilities globally as it exceeds typical TNT equivalency levels found in conventional warheads.
The certification of SEBEX 2 marks a crucial milestone in its deployment for various military applications, promising to significantly improve the lethality and effectiveness of munitions that rely on blast and fragmentation effects, the sources said.
EEL, a subsidiary of Solar Industries, is also advancing other explosive innovations. They are close to completing an explosive that is expected to be 2.3 times more powerful than TNT within six months, the sources said.
Additionally, EEL's SITBEX 1, a thermobaric explosive, and SIMEX 4, a safer storage and handling explosive, have received certification from the Indian Navy.
These developments underline India's commitment to enhancing its defense capabilities through cutting-edge technologies in explosives and ammunition development.
