Abstract
A severance tool for severing a target is described. The severance tool comprises a housing, a plurality of focused energetics, each focused energetic adapted to release energy in a preferred direction and a trigger mechanism adapted to detonate the focused energetics. The focused energetics are aligned such that, on impact with a target comprising a material, the energy released by one of said focused energetics cooperates with the energy released by another of said focused energetics to establish a separating force within the target material.
