A compensating volume in the form of a cavity 2 is arranged inside the explosive charge 1 of a warhead. The warhead has different ignition devices of which one ZK2 is suitable for the detonation initiation and the second ZK1 effects a deflagration or mechanical breakdown of the explosive charge. Detonation cords 3 extend from the deflagration initiator ZK1 and surround the cavity 2. Upon deflagration initiation or mechanical breakdown the cavity 2 absorbs the broken-down explosive charge particles and fragments 10. In this way the strength of the detonation can be controlled and, by further refinements, its direction also. In a second embodiment, the region between the compensating volume 2 and the casing 4 of the warhead is divided into a number of sector-shaped compartments (8,Fig.9) which are filled with liquid explosive whereby each sector (8,Fig.9) has at least one passage (9,Fig.9) to the compensating volume 2. In a third embodiment, an expansion means is provided for forcing part of the explosive into the compensating volume 2 to render it incapable of ignition, before detonation is initiated, so as to adjust the force of the explosion. |
