Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This invention relates to a novel munition ( 1 ) comprising a controllable output warhead and also munitions comprising one or more of said warheads. There are further provided methods of preparing the warheads of the invention, methods of controllably detonating the warheads and a kit suitable for preparing such a warhead. The warhead comprises an inner and outer portion of high explosive ( 3, 4 ) co-axially located and separated by a non-detonative material ( 5 ), such that in use at least two output modes are possible, by either simultaneous detonation of both the inner and outer portion high explosives ( 3, 4 ) or selective detonation of the inner high explosive portion ( 3 ).
