Abstract
An explosive device composed of: a flux compression generator operative to produce a high intensity electric current when activated; and an electrical payload connected to the generator and constructed to receive the high intensity electric current and cause energy in the current to generate a plate or shaped projectile in the payload and to launch the projectiles into an explosive or insensitive reactive material target for the purpose of initiating the reactive material at single or multiple points.
