American hand grenade
The Enhanced Tactical Multi-Purpose (ET-MP) is an American hand grenade that was conceptualized and designed by engineers at the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center (CCDC-AC) located at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.[1] This innovative hand grenade was officially announced in 2016. The distinguishing feature of the ET-MP is its electronic fuze system, allowing it to function in either fragmentation or blast mode, with the option to be selected at the time of use.

The versatility of the ET-MP, offering two distinct operational modes, fragmentation and concussive, reflects its potential adaptability to various combat scenarios.[1] The fragmentation mode is likely designed to produce lethal shrapnel upon detonation, while the blast mode might prioritize a concussive effect, making it suitable for different tactical situations.
