Abstract:
1. A warhead system for a projectile-intercepting munition, the warhead system comprising: (a) a fuselage having an axis; and (b) at least one explosively-formed-projectile charge having a length and configured to generate at least one explosively formed blade projectile propagating substantially perpendicular to said length, said at least one explosively-formed-projectile charge assuming a deployed state wherein said length of said at least one explosively-formed-projectile charge is non-parallel to said axis, said deployed state and said explosively-formed-projectile charge being configured such that, when said explosively-formed-projectile charge is detonated in said deployed state, said explosively formed blade projectile propagates in a direction non-coplanar with said length of said explosively-formed-projectile charge and said axis of said fuselage.
