Abstract

Results of experimental investigations of the influence of charge length and confinement on the velocity, form and terminal ballistic performance of explosively formed projectiles are presented. In order to make quite sure that the projectile shows no asymmetries, a new technique was developed to form projectiles with “star‐shaped tail”.
