ABSTRACT:
A splinter warhead for guiding flying bodies for combating aerial targets by detonation by a proximity fuse upon close approach to the target includes front and rear body portions interconnected by a warhead envelope constructed as a splinter warhead transporting structural member carrying an explosive charge detonatable by the proximity fuse. The explosive charge, which has an essentially circular cross section, has a lining of pre-formed splinters on its peripheral surface, this lining being disposed between the explosive charge and the warhead envelope. The pre-formed splinters have essentially a ball or spherical shape and an individual weight of less than 1 g. The average diameter of the explosive charge is more than 25 times the average diameter of the splinters. The splinters may be arranged in a single layer or in more than one layer, and may be all of the same diameter, or the splinters may be of different diameters and be arranged in groups with each group comprising splinters of the same diameter.
