Abstract

This paper deals with electromagnetic actions used to control the shaped-charge effect at different stages of shaped-charge operation. A decrease in penetration of a shaped-charge jet is attained by passage of a powerful electric current pulse through it, production of an axial magnetic field in the shaped-charge liner immediately before shot, and production of a magnetic field in the conducting target material that is transverse to the direction of jet propagation.
