ABSTRACT:
An explosive charge (3) can be equipped with two liners (4, 5) that can be attached to one another. The primary liner (4) is so devised that when choosing a first choice (11) of being able to work independently and by employing a symmetrical form achieving a forward-aimed Shaped Charge Warhead (SCW) effect upon explosive charge initiation by means of the material (7, 8) indicated for the primary liner. A secondary liner (5) is devised with a second choice (12) to be able to work together with the primary liner and together cause an asymmetric form that distributes the material (18, 19) from the liners at different velocities to thereby cause a forward-directed fragmentation effect. The ammunition unit (1) can, thus, be designed or prepared for two different combat cases in a technologically simple and unambiguous manner.
