ABSTRACT:
A superimposed charge projectile employing electrically actuated squibs with combinations of temperature and pressure fusing associated with each charge. Electrical conductors for the projectile are formed as a part of the longitudinal casing along the superimposed charges with both detonators and pressure switches located in the casing wall in communication with respective superimposed charges. The fuses are arranged so that the charges are armed and fired in sequence by the cooperative effort of pressure activated switches in the casing and thermally fusible armed links to enable each stage in sequence for firing through a common opening adjacent to the first or outermost superimposed charge.
