Abstract

A projectile having a piercing front end with a solid lubricant molded on the front surface for reducing friction during penetration. The lubricant is molded in a shape to receive an antenna and other electronics. The front end also has an axial hole formed therein to enhance self destruction from the sudden release of compressional strain energy accumulated during penetration through a hard target.
