Abstract
A system for modifying a shock wave formed in a fluid by a body to modify effects of the shock wave on an object released from the body including heating fluid along a path to form a volume of heated fluid expanding outwardly from the path, the path extending from the body and through the shock wave, releasing the object from the body, and timing a release of the object relative to the heating of the fluid along the path to modify certain effects of the shock wave on the object.

A system for modifying a shock wave formed in a fluid by a body to modify effects of the shock wave on an object released from the body, comprising:
- means for heating fluid along a path to form a volume of heated fluid expanding outwardly from the path, the path extending from the body and through the shock wave;
- means for releasing the object from the body;
- and
- means for timing a release of the object relative to the heating of the fluid along the path to modify certain effects of the shock wave on the object.
A method for modifying a shock wave formed in a fluid by a body to modify effects of the shock wave on an object released from the body, comprising the steps of:
- heating fluid along a path to form a volume of heated fluid expanding outwardly from the path, the path extending from the body and through the shock wave;
- releasing the object from the body;
- and
- timing a release of the object relative to the heating of the fluid along the path to modify certain effects of the shock wave on the object.
