I don't see any reason that at TL 10 you can't have tungsten in a smart matter matrix that controls how the tungsten breaks up once the bursting charge is detonated. If it breaks into big pieces, you have fragmentation. If it disintegrates into tungsten dust, you have a DIME warhead with a limited area of effect.

It can, although I don't know if it is ideal. Shaped charge demolition strips, for example, don't use a hard case backing.
