A compensating volume in the form of a cavity 2 is arranged inside an explosive charge of a warhead. The region between the compensating volume 2 and the casing of the warhead is divided into a number of sector-shaped compartments 8 which are filled with liquid explosive whereby each sector 8 has at least one passage 9 to the compensating volume 2 and can be acted upon by gas pressure. The passage 9 may be a releasable opening or a controllable opening. Propulsion pressure can be used to transfer the liquid explosive rapidly into the compensating volume 2 to render it incapable of ignition, before detonation is initiated, so as to adjust the force of the explosion. |
