Multiple headed missile system - moves initial- and after-action bodies apart axially before detonation

摘要

The multiple-headed missile has an explosive initial-action body, particularly a hollow charge, a compression charge or a solid shot. Members (8) are provided to move the bodies (3,4) apart in the axial direction before the first is detonated, typically in the form of a cartridge, or a rocket motor on the first one. The design affords a simple system for protecting the after-action body from the effects of the explosion of the initial-action body.
