ABSTRACT:
A warhead containing an hourglass-shaped explosive charge. At either or b ends of the charge an expandable rod structure or rod fragments are placed and arranged at any desired angle to the longitudinal axis of the charge. The charge is initiated at the center of its length and because of its shape creates a concentrated pancake configured shock wave and gas cloud expanding radially outward from the center of the missile. Because of the large amount of explosive between the initiation point and the rod structure the rods are imparted with a higher velocity than in conventional rod warheads of comparable mass.
