ABSTRACT:
Warhead for projectiles and rockets in which the projectile or rocket casing can be relied upon to decompose into splinters of predetermined size, shape, and distribution. To accomplish this result, a thin-walled insert is positioned between the projectile or rocket casing and the explosive charge, such insert being provided with a number of ribs forming a series of saddle-roof shaped structures which exert a cutting charge effect on the casing on the detonation of the explosive charge.
