ABSTRACT:
A shaped-charge warhead increases the lethality of the liner material by roducing a lethal material into an appropriate region of a jet penetrator so that the lethal material is projected on the shot-line ahead of a normally large slow-moving slug, or rearward portions of the stretching jet penetrator, without hindering the actual penetration process of an outer vehicle armor. The improved shaped-charge liner eliminates the necessity of using naturally pyroforic material or poisonous liquids.
