The present invention relates to a fragmentation warhead, including: an inner casing accommodating explosive charge; a fragmentation casing at least partly surrounding the inner casing; and an outer casing arranged outside the inner casing and the fragmentation casing; wherein the inner casing includes a front liner and a rear liner, which are connected to each other and wherein the fragmentation casing comprises a molded casing with integrated metal elements.

Fragmentation warhead and a method of manufacturing of a fragmentation warhead

A multi-mode fuse system for use in a warhead for combating a target. At least one target sensor is electrically connected to a signal processing block and an I/O-block. The I/O-block is configured to be set by the operator of the warhead. The target sensor is adapted to generate an electrical output in response to the rate of deceleration of the warhead. The fuse system is adapted to discriminate the hardness of the target based upon the electrical output of the target sensor and to select the mode of operation depending upon the target discrimination. The fuse system is adapted to discriminate at least one type of target depending upon the electrical output of the target sensors. The fuse system selects one of at least three modes of operation of the warhead. Also a method for classifying the target hardness and selection of the operational mode of a warhead.
