Abstract

The projectile (10) has a forward armour-piercing high explosive charge (20) and an aft anti-personnel high explosive charge (24) within a base cap (14) which fragments to provide shrapnel. Both charges are ignited by a single deceleration-sensitive detonator assembly within a rotor assembly (26) rotatable between set back and armed positions. The novel detonator assembly comprises a pair of longitudinally aligned detonators, opposed face to face with an initiator disposed between them. The rotor is freed to precess into the armed position by the crushing ofa fluid sack comprising microballoons 38. <IMAGE>
