Abstract
A device which delivers high velocity projectiles to specified or targeted sites. Said device operates to bore at extreme speeds a channel leading to specified sites and then to subsequently place explosive charges substantially below the surface of a region adjacent to or surrounding said targets. High velocity projectiles are fired in rapid succession with shaped explosive charges ranging from conventional plastic explosives to nuclear or thermonuclear devices detonating either upon impact or some distance below the point of impact. The multiple stage launch mode of the aforesaid device consists of three separate and distinct phases or stages, and/or multiples of said stages. Electropropulsive elements embodied within the devices consist of an automated plasma injection means, a primary arcing source, Tesla discharging means and propagating rails, magnetic induction elements and ancillary systems.
