A munition () with variable explosive power comprises a body () extending in an axial direction and housing at least first and second explosive charges (), together with a firing device (). According to the invention, the munition further comprises a selector () provided with a detonating portion () and adapted to move between at least first and second positions, the selector being configured so that its detonating portion couples the firing device () to the first explosive charge in said first position and to the second explosive charge in said second position, one of the first and second explosive charges () not being coupled to the firing device () in at least one of the first and second positions.

Munition with a variable explosive power

The invention provides a filler material for a munition, inluding an explosive charge, an inert charge and at least one pyrotechnic transmission unit adapted to transmit a remotely initiated detonation to said explosive charge. The invention also concerns a munition incorporating said filler material, said munition including a hollow elongate casing suitable for housing the explosive charge and the inert charge, and a firing device, at least a portion of the inert charge being interposed between the firing device and said explosive charge, and the pyrotechnic transmission unit being provided with a pyrotechnic extension and coupling the firing device to the explosive charge in order to prime detonation of the explosive charge under the action of the firing device.
