ABSTRACT:
A missile, such as a cruise missile, has a nose payload portion having a frangible nose cover and a relatively hard target penetration nose cone. The nose cone may have a liquid fuel tank within, and a chemical energy explosive charge, such as a shaped charge, aft of the liquid fuel tank. The target penetration nose cone enables perforation of certain types of targets prior to detonation of the chemical energy explosive and the liquid fuel. The frangible nose cover is configured to be easily perforated or otherwise removed by the explosive force of the chemical energy explosive charge when the missile system is utilized for the attack of hard targets. The nose payload portion may have a fragmentation case, with one or more features designed to enhance fragmentation during detonation of the explosive and/or the liquid fuel.
