摘要

An ammunition arrangement in the form of a shell (1) or similar comprising a front and a rear explosive charge (2, 3) is described. In order to prevent the rear explosive charge (3), when attacking a target, being damaged or incapacitated by defensive measures, such as shrapnel from explosive armour, the front part and/or jacket of the rear explosive charge is equipped with a contact sensor (5) which directly initiates the explosive charge (3) without waiting for the elapse of a predetermined time delay normally intended to delay the initiation of the rear warhead (3) relative to initiation of the front warhead (2). It is suggested that Figure 1 should accompany the abstract. IMAGE
