ABSTRACT:
A shaped charge projectile includes a projectile housing, explosives and a shaped charge liner in the projectile housing, and a front hood to cover the shaped charge liner. To reduce the impact shock when the projectile hits a target, the front portion of the hood is configured as a deformable region, with a wall thickness that decreases toward the center point of the hood. Furthermore, in order to reliably support the internal warhead and maintain a sufficient stand-off distance even with the hardest target impact, the hood has a cylindrical attachment portion with a wall thickness of about three times the wall thickness of the projectile housing.
