Abstract: A warhead (10') which includes a shaped or projectile forming charge in the form of a liner (14) of a multi-phase metallic material or a metal-metal laminate. To prevent the liner (14) from being destroyed by the incoming shock wave and make impossible the formation of a projectile, that is, a shaped charge jet, a layer (15) is arranged, in front of the liner (14) on the side of the explosive, with the layer (15) causing the shock wave front to be flattened and damped and having an acoustic impedance which is lower than that of the liner (14).

Abstract: An explosive charge provided with a metal facing for the formation of an essentially rod-shaped projectile by detonative conversion of the facing. The facing is provided in its central region with a coating of a material which is denser than the material of the facing.

Abstract: A warhead including a body surrounding an explosive and a projectile forming liner connected to the end of the body. In order to prevent undefined chipping effects along the edge of the liner during detonative reshaping of the liner, the liner and at least the part of the body immediately adjacent the liner form an integral unit made of the same material.

Abstract: A load-carrying missile adapted for firing from barrel weapons and having a plurality of explosive charges disposed thereon with a plurality of projectile forming coverings distributed over the periphery of the missile and directed substantially perpendicular to the axis of the missile. The missile is provided with a parachute which is connected to the casing of the missile and which causes a directional braked descent of the missile in the target area.

Abstract: A disc-shaped warhead adapted for being fired from a barrel weapon, and particularly for being stacked with a plurality of similar warheads in a load-carrying missile for ejection one after the other. The warhead has a plurality of slave missiles disposed in radially directed firing tubes, and a parachute connected to the warhead and causing a directional, braked descent in the target area. Each of the slave missiles has a proximity fuse to detonate it individually after reaching a predetermined distance from the ground or other target.
