Munition modification kit and method of modifying munition

A modification kit for providing enhanced fragmentation capabilities to an existing munition, the kit comprising:

• an airframe;
• preformed fragments within the airframe;
• and
• one or more adapters to allow connection to an existing munition through the airframe;
• wherein the one or more adapters include a tail adapter for coupling a tail kit to a tail of the munition;
• and
• wherein the tail adapter includes lug clamps that engage a groove on a casing of the existing munition.

A modification kit for providing enhanced fragmentation capabilities to an existing munition, the kit comprising:

• an airframe;
• preformed fragments within the airframe;
• and
• one or more adapters to allow connection to an existing munition through the airframe;
• wherein the one or more adapters include a nose adapter for coupling a nose kit to a nose of the munition;
• wherein the nose adapter is threaded into a nose connection of the existing munition;
• and
• wherein the nose adapter surrounds a conduit extension that connects to a forward conduit of the existing munition.

A modification kit for providing enhanced fragmentation capabilities to an existing munition, the kit comprising:

• an airframe;
• preformed fragments within the airframe;
• and
• one or more adapters to allow connection to an existing munition through the airframe;
• wherein the one or more adapters include lug adapters for coupling lugs to the munition;
• and
• wherein the lug adapters each include a male threaded end, and a female threaded receptacle end opposite the male threaded end.

A modification kit for providing enhanced fragmentation capabilities to an existing munition, the kit comprising:

• an airframe;
• preformed fragments within the airframe;
• and
• one or more adapters to allow connection to an existing munition through the airframe;
• in combination with the existing munition, thereby producing a modified munition;
• further comprising a nose kit coupled to a nose of the existing munition;
• wherein the nose kit includes canards for maneuvering the modified munition;
• and
• wherein the nose kit is operably coupled to a fuze of the existing munition, enabling triggering of the fuze by the nose kit, to detonate the modified munition.
