Abstract:
A line charge comprising:a plurality of elongate strength members;a plurality of warheads each having a longitudinal bore, said warheads being spaced-apart along the length of said plurality of strength members;a plurality of components coupling said warheads to said strength members; anda detonating element extending through said bores, said detonating element being sized for longitudinal displacement in said bores and unattached to said warheads, said strength members being equidistantly-spaced from one another on said warheads, and said strength members and said coupling components dissipating dynamic frictional losses between said strength members and said coupling components to reduce strains created during deployment of said line charge when slippage occurs between said strength members and said coupling components.
