Abstract
Two sections of explosives are utilized in a shaped charged device to first accelerate liner material to high velocity and secondly to collapse the moving liner on a projectile's longitudinal axis to produce a high velocity jet and slug. The apparatus utilizes the principle of superposition of velocity generated by sequentially activated explosives to attain jet and slug velocities having greater ability to defeat armored targets.
