ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical housing for a shock-augmenting charge is provided with axially extending grooves in its outer wall to enhance its radial detonation capability. When used in a cylindrical warhead for augmenting detonation of a main charge of insensitive high explosive, full detonative output is enabled and in addition, a flatter detonation wavefront is generated within the main charge, thereby reducing the need for supplementary waveform shapers.
