ABSTRACT:
Fragments, also in the shape of projectiles with a length to diameter ratio greater than 3, can be successfully accelerated directly by means of an explosive if at least one forward casing in the frontal zone of the fragment causes the shock wave generated by detonation of the explosive to pass from the fragment into the forward casing, which subsequently detaches from the fragment thus protecting the fragment from the destructive effects of the reflected shock wave.
