MISSILE-FORMING CHARGE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F42B12/10 F42B1/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition supplies.

SUBSTANCE: missile-forming charge (MFC) refers to devices for damaging elements formation and can be used in various ammunitions destined for destruction of targets by high-speed damaging elements (DE). The MFC contains a charge of an explosive (HE) in the body with an end initiation system and a various-thickness HE explosion-dispersed, which forms the DE. The lining is made with thickness reduction from the center to the periphery and an insert is made on the side of the explosive charge on the periphery, made of a material with density corresponding to the lining material density. The inner and outer surfaces of lining are made with different radii with displacement of their centers along the lining axis by a value selected depending on the DE shape required to defeat a particular target. The insert is made of foil and consists of individual wedge-shaped elements uniformly distributed over the lining surface, the vertices of which are directed to the charge axis; geometric parameters of the wedge-shaped elements are selected based on the geometric parameters of lining and the desired shape of a damaging element.

EFFECT: invention allows to increase aerodynamic stability during the flight of the damaging element formed from the lining.
