First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A munition comprising: a composite case; a blast cone housed by the composite case; a grenade aft of the blast cone and housed by the composite case; a first attenuator forward of the blast cone; and a second attenuator aft of the blast cone and forward of the grenade, wherein the first and second attenuators include a foam material, wherein the foam material is polyurethane. 2. The munition as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a main charge housed in the composite case forward of the first attenuator. 3. The munition as recited in claim 2 , wherein the first attenuator is forward of the blast cone and aft of the main charge. 4. The munition as recited in claim 1 , wherein tine blast cone includes an internal cavity, with a third attenuator in the internal cavity. 5. The munition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the composite case is formed of a polymeric composite material. 6.
