Abstract
An ogival explosive warhead lens, nearly hemispherical in shape, construc in the form of four coaxial spheroidal shells containing different explosives which when initiated at a point on the curved surface near the flat base, will result in detonation waves converging to a line on the opposite curved surface lying in a plane which passes through the axis of symmetry.
