Abstract
A projectile has a body with three fins which partially define a meplat. Three flutes are alternatingly arranged with the three fins about an axis of the body. Each of the three flutes is at least partially defined by a curved surface having a substantially smooth radius of curvature that is substantially constant from the meplat to a side surface of the body.
