Detonation-wave-shaping fuze booster

A fuze booster, comprising:

• a first explosive charge including a cavity centrally-positioned therein and extending there through, said first explosive charge includes an annular portion integrated with a semi-annular portion, said annular portion encircles a first axial portion of said cavity and said semi-annular portion partially encircles a second axial portion of said cavity;
• an explosively-inert material abutting said semi-annular portion, abutting said annular portion, and partially encircling said second axial portion of said cavity;
• and
• a second explosive charge abutting said explosively-inert material, abutting said semi-annular portion, and partially encircling said second axial portion of said cavity, wherein said second axial portion of said cavity is completely encircled by a combination of said semi-annular portion, said explosively-inert material, and said second explosive charge.

A fuze booster, comprising:

• a first explosive charge including a cavity extending there through, said first explosive charge includes an annular portion encircling a first axial portion of said cavity and a semi-annular portion partially encircles a second axial portion of said cavity, wherein said annular portion abuts said semi-annular portion;
• a hollow detonation-wave-shaping element made from an explosively-inert material, said detonation-wave-shaping element abuts said semi-annular portion, abuts and indexed to said annular portion, and partially encircles said second axial portion of said cavity;
• and
• a second explosive charge abutting said detonation-wave-shaping element, abutting said semi-annular portion, and partially encircling said second axial portion of said cavity, wherein said second axial portion of said cavity is completely encircled by a combination of said semi-annular portion, said detonation-wave-shaping element, and said second explosive charge.
