A similar message was delivered by Russian Defense Minister Pavel Grachev in 1993 during a speech in which he discussed the possibility of achieving military technical superiority through the "creation of new models of high precision weapons, as well as weapons based on new physical principles that approach nuclear weapons in destructive force."2 Recent reports indicate possible Russian use of advanced energetics in Chechnya. These foreign breakthroughs have the potential to place U.S.

energetics research has focused in the energy range between conventional energetics and nuclear fission.3 Approaches for creatingtechnologies with high energy and high rates of energy release range from the evolutionary to the revolutionary, and include the following: · Shock-dissociated advanced fuels and oxidizers, · Advanced CHNO/F (carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen-oxygen compound with fluorine) chemistry, · Designer explosives with metallic additives, · Nanostructured materials, · All-nitrogen and hydrogen energetics, · Reactive materia Is, and · Exotic materials, such as nuclear excited state spin and shape isomers.
