An integral assembly of explosive charges and their associated priming devices, including a first explosive charge C1 made of a composition M1, coupled to at least one priming relay R1, the explosive charge C1 including in its volume at least one other explosive charge C2 made of a composition M2, each explosive charge C2 being coupled to a priming relay R2. The assembly is such that the critical diameter of the composition M1 of the explosive charge C1 is greater than the critical diameter of the composition M2 of the explosive charge C2. Each explosive charge C2 together with its priming relay R2 is arranged at a distance D from each priming relay R1, namely at a distance which is greater than the thickness of the number of cards corresponding to a negative detonability index test of the composition of the priming relay R1.
A monolithic assembly of explosive charges and their associated priming devices, comprising a first cylindrical explosive charge C1 of a composition M1, coupled to at least one priming relay R1, said explosive charge C1 including in its volume at least one other explosive charge C2 of a composition M2, each explosive charge C2 being coupled to a priming relay R2, in which assembly the critical diameter Φ1 of the composition M1 of the explosive charge C1 is greater than the critical diameter Φ2 of the composition M2 of the at least one other explosive charge C2, and in which each explosive charge C2 and its priming relay R2 is arranged at a distance D from each priming relay R1, the distance D being greater than the thickness of the number of cards corresponding to a negative Detonation Aptitude Index (IAD) test of the composition of the priming relay(s) R1, said thickness being determined in accordance with NATO standard STANAG 4488.
