  • Shaped charge assembly and method of damaging a target
    Patent number: 7779760
    Abstract: A shaped charge assembly (10) comprises a housing (20), first shaped charge (24), a wave shaping relay charge (44) and a second shaped charge (30) located in the housing. The assembly (10) is configured such that a first active element formed by initiation of the first shaped charge (24) causes detonation of the wave shaping relay charge (44), which in turn causes initiation of the second shaped charge (30) to form a second active element. The first active element moves beyond a second end (25) of the housing to cause damage of a first kind to an external target and the second active element also moves beyond the second end to cause damage of a second kind to the target.
