ABSTRACT:
A warhead includes a housing in which an effective explosive charge and a projectile-forming layer is disposed. The effective explosive charge is connected and ignited by a target recognition device. In order to reduce the effect of the antenna as a hindrance and obstacle to the formation of a projectile by means of a projectile-forming layer forming part of the effective explosive charge, the antenna extends only to a limited extent into the central region of the end face of the effective charge and is in the form of an annular shape which only to a minor degree covers the projectile-forming layer so that only the peripheral surfaces of the projectile-forming layer are blocked by the antenna structure.
