ABSTRACT:
A shaped charge for efficiently transferring energy from an explosive material to generate a deep penetrating jet. The shaped charge liner is formed with a hemispherical first section combined with an elongated second section. The liner second section can be formed as a truncated cone, trumpet, or other shape. The hemispherical first section collapses to generate a high velocity jet portion, and the second section collapses to generate an elongated, deep penetrating jet portion which follows the higher velocity jet portion.
