ABSTRACT:
An explosively forged elongated penetrator including a liner having a central section, an intermediate section and a peripheral section; the axial velocity of the sections being approximately equal; the axial thicknesses of the sections decreasing from the central to the peripheral section; the radial velocity increasing from the central to the peripheral section; and the line profile angle decreasing from the central to the peripheral section, to define an explosively driven, inwardly directed, centrally focused force for forging the penetrator from the liner substantially independently of the axial velocities.
