ABSTRACT:
A shaped charge for missiles which are provided for defeating armored vehicles in such a manner that the flight path of the missile is beside, below or above the target. The warhead is ignited at an instant when the missile is either beside, below or above a weakly armored portion of the target. The shaped charge is characterized by a hollow body (liner), which is surrounded by an explosive charge. To compensate for the velocity of the missile, the explosive charge is designed such that the charge axis forms an angle with the axis of the inner counter of the hollow body (liner), and such that sections in planes normal to the axis of the inner liner contour have circular or elliptic cross sections. The liner may be designed in a way that the axes of the inner and the outer contours can be translated with respect to each other and/or inclined by a small angle toward each other. Also the cone angles of the inner and outer contours of the liner may be different.
