Abstract
A shaped charge warhead comprising a sleeve, which, in order to improve the rate of detonation of the shaped charge is more weakly structured at the region of a hollow space or cavity of the shaped charge, for instance by providing at such location internal threading, reduced wall thickness or using a weaker material, or combinations thereof.
Claims1
A shaped warhead comprising:
- a sleeve;
- a hollow charge arranged within said sleeve;
- said hollow charge containing a substantially conical hollow cavity having a base and an apex;
- and
- said sleeve being provided with internal threading extending from the base to the apex of said conical hollow cavity, so as to impart thereto a thinner and therefore weaker wall structure extending from said base to said apex of the conical hollow cavity.
