Abstract
An improved cast explosive charge and a method of manufacturing said cast explosive charges utilizing an automated assembly system. The explosive charges are produced by combining two elongate cast segments, thereby abutting an exterior surface of one segment, formed by explosive material into an exterior surface of a second segment formed by explosive material, and attaching the cast segments together with wrapping material. The cast explosive charge produced by this method of manufacturing exhibits a markedly improved detonation velocity.
