The same uses as any other explosive:

  • Strategic aerial bombs
  • Tactical aerial bombs
  • Airfield runway cratering bombs
  • Artillery shells
  • Depth charges
  • Torpedos
  • Landmines
  • Naval mines
  • Demolition charges
  • Antiaircraft missiles
  • Ground attack missiles
  • IRBMs
  • SLBMs
  • ICBMs

There was even a proposal made in 1955 by the DOD to the labs to see if they could make an atomic bomb small enough and light enough for a soldier to use as a handgrenade!
