ABSTRACT:
An anti-armor warhead assembly includes an open-ended cylindrical warhead se defined by a first section, a second section and a third section. The first section has a constant inside diameter D.sub.1. The second section has a constant inside diameter D.sub.2 and connects the first section and the third section. The third section is defined by an inside diameter D.sub.3. The relationship between the diameters is such that D.sub.1 <D.sub.3 .ltoreq.D.sub.2. A hollow conically shaped charge liner is axially aligned and fitted within the warhead case. Explosive material fills the first section of the warhead case about an outwardly facing surface of the charge liner. A retaining ring fitted on the third section retains the charge liner and the explosive material in the first section. An end cap fitted to the first section has an initiator coupler formed therein for housing a primer charge used to detonate the explosive material.
