Self limiting explosive logic network

An explosive panel including a plurality of interconnected explosive tile assemblies, each tile assembly comprising:

• a tile of explosive material;
• a peripheral path of explosive material extending about the tile;
• a plurality of connecting links of explosive material, each extending from an inner end across the peripheral path to an outer end which is connected to a link outer end of at least one adjacent tile assembly, the number of links being sufficient to connect the tile assembly to every adjacent tile assembly, the intersection of each link with the peripheral path being such that a detonation propagating along the peripheral path will cut and open the link without propagating the detonation outwardly in the link;
• a like plurality of explosive logic means, associated respectively with the connecting links, for propagating an incoming detonation to the tile assembly from the associated link to the peripheral path;
• and
• a like plurality of explosive delay means, connected respectively between the inner ends of the connecting links and the tile, for delaying an incoming detonation along any link so that the detonation will be propagated about the peripheral path and all other connecting links of the tile assembly will be cut before the detonation can be propagated through the tile to any of the other connecting links.
