Abstract

In order to study the design method of fragment focusing warhead, based on the new design thought and design model, the design study was carried out, taking an example of axial-symmetry fragment focusing warhead with static explosion at one side. The slight part of fragment arc charging structure was circumrotated on certain angle. The warhead satisfying the desire of focusing effect was achieved. The calculation result shows that the fragment focusing warhead can control the dispersion direction of the fragment so as to form focus band, and the target can be destroyed. The design method is of great value to the engineering design for strengthening the terminal effects of warhead.
