ABSTRACT:
A shield adapted for preventing impact from causing an energetic reaction of a munition containing explosive which comprises a cylindrical shell emplaced around the munition and includes means for reducing the shock wave energy transmitted to the explosive, said means consisting of hardened protuberances located between the shield's shell and the casing of the munition. The protuberances may have the shape of a cone or a pyramid or a wedge, with the sharp point or edge in contact with the casing of the munition.
