Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are shaped-charges for focusing a filler, such as a fluid mass, and related methods of using the shaped-charges for disruption of an explosive target. The shaped-charge comprises an attenuating body positioned and configured to attenuate rarefaction waves to increase filler, including a fluid mass, explosively driven out of the container toward a target while also maintaining and enhancing fluid jet integrity. To further control impact and impulse forces on a target, additional layers may be used, including a foam layer and a jet-clipping layer positioned between the shaped-charge and the target surface. Also provided are propellant driven liquid disrupters having special attenuating bodies to improve liquid jet column characteristics.
