Patent ID: 6868791

Claim:
A single stage kinetic energy warhead utilizing a barrier-breaching projectile followed by a target-defeating explosively formed projectile, the warhead comprising: a housing having an inner surface; an explosive charge disposed within the housing; a first liner that is placed against the explosive charge within the housing; a plastic insert that is placed against the first liner; a second liner that is placed against the plastic insert; wherein the first liner is generally concave shaped wherein the second liner is generally flat; wherein the plastic insert spaces the second liner from the first liner; wherein when the second liner is expelled from the housing ahead of the first liner, the second liner forms a plate shaped projectile; wherein when the first liner is expelled from the housing, the first liner is deformed into a convex shaped projectile; wherein the plate shaped projectile clears a path through a barrier that protects a target, for the convex shaped projectile to impact the target unimpeded; and wherein the explosive charge uses a single detonator to produce two sequential projectiles.
