Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1715287A1] The present invention relates to a warhead (2) comprising a charge unit (5) with an explosive charge (7), a liner (8) and an initiator (9), the warhead having a fragmentation capacity. The invention also refers to a projectile or a missile comprising such a warhead (2). According to the invention a stopper (6) is provided in front of the charge unit (5) to interfere with the liner (8) of the charge unit at such a distance from the charge unit (5) that the essential part of the acceleration of the liner (8) under influences from explosive gases of the explosive charge has taken place before reaching the stopper (6). This creates a splinter mode with fragments spread in desired directions of space.
