Abstract:
A rocket, comprising:a front warhead; a rear propellant actuator for generating propelling force to propel said warhead in a predetermined orientation and at a predetermined speed; and a propulsion enhancement arrangement comprising a propulsion impulse generator operatively mounted between said front warhead and said rear propellant actuator, wherein a predetermined set of parameters is input into said propulsion impulse generator to control a timing and an elevation in air of an explosion that generates a propelling impulse, wherein said propulsion impulse generator comprises: a storage chamber positioned between said front warhead and said rear propellant actuator; a predetermined amount of explosive material selected from a group consisting of trinitrotoluene which is stored in said storage chamber and enclosed by a foam material to retain a spherical shape in said storage chamber to provide propelling impulse upon controlled explosion thereof, wherein said predetermined amount of explosive material is arranged for propelling said front warhead to a predetermined position; and a time-sensitive trigger operatively communicated with said storage chamber, wherein said time sensitive trigger device comprises a timing device and an ignition trigger operatively communicated with each other in order to ignite said explosive material stored in said storage chamber at a predetermined time pre-set to said timing device, wherein when said rocket reaches said elevation in air according to said predetermined set of parameters inputted, said time-sensitive trigger triggers said explosion of said explosive material stored in said storage chamber, wherein said explosion generates said propelling impulse which further propels said front warhead to said predetermined position at a predetermined velocity and after said explosion, said rear propellant actuator and said propelling impulse generator are separated from said front warhead.
