Shaped charge and application for separating two stages of an aeronautical craft or neutralizing the same
A shaped charge comprising a containment shell, an explosive charge placed in the containment shell and having a V-shaped surface, a fuse placed behind the explosive charge, and a layer of projection material placed in front of the V-shaped surface of the explosive charge. A layer of pyrogenic material is used for heating the projection coating. This pyrogenic material can also be mixed with the explosive charge.
1. A device for neutralizing a part of an aeronautical craft or a space craft, the device comprising:
a shaped charge comprising:
a containment shell forming a ring;
an explosive charge, placed in the containment shell, having a V-shaped concave surface;
a fuse, placed behind the explosive charge;
a projection coating, placed in front of the V-shaped concave surface of the explosive charge; and
a pyrogenic material for heating the projection coating, the pyrogenic material being placed on the V-shaped concave surface of the explosive charge, the projection coating being placed on the pyrogenic material, and,
the pyrogenic material being placed against an inner surface of a wall of the aeronautical craft or the space craft.
2. The neutralizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped charge encircles and surrounds at least a portion of the aeronautical craft or the space craft.
3. The neutralizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped charge is elongated and is placed on a generator of the inner surface of the wall of the aeronautical craft or the space craft.
