Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018108308A1] The invention relates to a munition module (6) in which an ignition point (18) of an explosive assembly is positioned at a distance from a detonator (8) within a casing (20) of the explosive assembly (10). An ignition channel (22) runs from the detonator (8) to the ignition point (18) in a starting state (A), wherein the ignition channel (22) is open in a starting state (A) and is designed to be self-closing in an ignition state (S) after an ignition has occurred. A warhead (4) comprising the munition module (6) contains an active coating (12) which at least partly surrounds the explosive assembly (10) and which can be accelerated by the reacted explosive. In a munition (2) comprising the warhead (4), the detonator is an impact detonator. A munition (2) in the form of an air-burst munition contains the warhead (4).
