Abstract
A large warhead explosive is provided with a metal liner having longitudi corrugations. The shape of the liner causes the warhead to deliver concentrated amounts of energy to targets at some distance from the point of detonation. This energy is in the form of hypervelocity fragment beams produced by what is known as 'Monroe effect' caused by the jetting of the liner as the detonation wave front progresses along the warhead.
