ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a hollow charge for a missile, projectile, shell or the like. The invention is particularly intended to be used on a missile which is arranged to pass a target and the hollow charge initiated when the missile is over, at the side of or under the target which means that the hollow charge is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis (13) of the missile. The hollow charge comprises an inner, jet-forming, trumpet-shaped cone member (3) and an outer casing (2) having a substantially straight cylindrical part (8) connected to a conical tapered part (9, 10) to give the hollow charge jet an extremely high front tip velocity as well as a low velocity gradient.
