Abstract

An assemblage which forms part of a warhead of other explosive device which seeks to overcome the problem of charge/liner detachment caused by excessive shrinkage of charge volume under low ambient temperature conditions and set-back during high acceleration launches. A container comprising a hollow charge liner peripherally attached to a rearwardly extended tubular sleeve contains a charge assemblage that is in contact with the liner and has a rearwardly extended portion protrusive beyond the sleeve. The container is slideable within the casing. A short waisted cylindrical spring washer is disposed within the casing so as to urge the container rearward relative to the case thereby axially compressing the charge assemblage between the liner and the rear end of the casing.
