Abstract
An improved shoot-through warhead cover is constructed of a low density material, such as polyethylene foam, in a dome-like shape. An anterior surface of the shoot-through cover is configured so as to be in proximate mating relationship with the exterior surface of an EFP liner member. The exterior surface of the cover is also aerodynamically contoured to match the external shape of a receiving warhead delivery vehicle body.
