ABSTRACT:
Different compositions of layers forming a non-homogeneous explosive charge are selected so as to produce in response to underwater detonation of s explosive charge a gas bubble having a corresponding internal density distribution of explosion products to predetermine shape and direction of a water jet emerging from such bubble during collapse thereof for enhanced impact damage to an adjacent underwater target.
