Precision. Power. Performance.
SWORD Energetics Inc. is a global provider of high-performance energetic materials for defense, mining, and aerospace. With manufacturing and R&D hubs in the USA, and South America, we support Allied military forces, defense OEMs, and extractive industries with energetic compounds, explosive formulations, and propulsion technologies that meet the world’s toughest standards.
Energetic Compound Manufacturing
Production of military- and industrial-grade explosives and propellants including RDX, HMX, PETN, TNT, C-4, Semtex, IMX-101, M1 artillery propellant, and small arms powders (5.56×45, 7.62×39).
Custom Formulation & Melt-Cast Engineering
Development of specialized energetic blends and melt-castable explosives such as Composition B and Octol, with precise control over brisance, sensitivity, and thermal stability.
Insensitive Munitions (IM) Technology
Design and production of IM-compliant energetics for NATO and U.S. military applications, reducing collateral risk in storage, transport, and combat.
Global Logistics & Hazardous Export Compliance
Worldwide shipping of Class 1.1D materials with full regulatory adherence (ATF, DOT, ITAR, STANAG), including secure storage, customs handling, and end-user certification support.
Integrated R&D and Technical Services
On-site and contract-based research, testing, and prototyping for energetic materials, including performance modeling, safety analysis, and formulation validation.
Bilateral Manufacturing & Strategic Location Access
Dual operational presence in South Carolina and Bolivia allows for scalable production, cost optimization, and rapid service to U.S., NATO, and South American markets.
