ABSTRACT:
A warhead for use against fortified or armored targets has an axially extending common housing. A forward hollow charge is located in the housing adjacent the forward end. A follow-up projectile is located in the housing between the hollow charge and the rearward end. When the housing strikes a target an ignition system is activated first igniting the follow-up projectile and then igniting the hollow charge, so that the hollow charge opens a hole in the target and then is followed by the follow-up projectile aligned with the hole.
