Grumman develops more lethal explosives for hypersonic and other missiles

Northrop Grumman has been developing Lethality Enhanced Ordnance (LEO) – a scalable, performance-enhancing warhead technology that replaces cluster bombs which have been banned in 2010. They completed series testing of a new 50 lb-class warhead for future US air-to-surface and surface-to-surface hypersonic weapons. The new warhead leverages the company’s Lethality Enhanced Ordnance (LEO) technology. It is a scalable fragmentation/penetration warhead solution developed by Northrop Grumman. The requirement was for no submunitions and to have less than 1% unexploded ordnance (UXO) after arming. LEO technology uses a thinned out shell casing supplemented with an inner fragmentation layer that can be scaled

Studio Ghibli Park Unveils Its Wondrous Valley of Witches

Screenshot: Kyodo News/YouTube With the Valley of Witches set to open March 16, Ghibli Park will finally be complete. Since 2022, the attraction—nestled in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagoya, Japan—has unlocked realms inspired by Studio Ghibli’s legacy of films . But it’s not to be mistaken for a modern theme park; Hayao Miyazaki himself mandated that the experiences offered at Ghibli Park should evoke being in a Ghibli movie without disturbing the natural surroundings. So it’s more of a throwback to nostalgic attractions and walkthroughs with a carnival ride flair. Inspired by films including My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, the first phase of opening kicked off two years ago, with other areas opening as they were completed. With the Valley of Witches, which features attractions inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, among others, the theme park will finally be open in full beginning March 16.
