Linear shaped charges Linear shaped charge A linear shaped charge (LSC) has a lining with V-shaped profile and varying length.

A shaped charge is an explosive charge shaped to focus the effect of the explosive's energy.

Shaped charge variants There are several different forms of shaped charge.

The large caliber ensured a powerful shaped charge capable of destroying tanks; velocity has no impact on shaped charge penetration, and the short gun would reduce weight.

Armor upgrades include reactive armor on the sides of the tank and slat armor (similar to that on the Stryker ) on the rear to protect against rocket-propelled grenades and other shaped charge warheads.

A shaped charge's penetration is not dependent on the speed of the round, allowing rounds to be fired at much lower velocities, and thus from much lighter guns.

Before the adoption of the shaped charge, anti-tank guns and tank guns relied primarily on kinetic energy to defeat armor.

For added protection, vehicles may be retrofitted with reactive armor; on impact, reactive tiles explode or deform, disrupting the normal function of the shaped charge.

For the cutting of complex geometries, there are also flexible versions of the linear shaped charge, these with a lead or high-density foam sheathing and a ductile/flexible lining material, which also is often lead.

Shaped charge effects driven by nuclear explosions have been discussed speculatively, but are not known to have been produced in fact.

Voitenko compressor main In 1964 a Russian scientist proposed that a shaped charge originally developed for piercing thick steel armor be adapted to the task of accelerating shock waves.

Well-sloped armor also gives some protection because the shaped charge is forced to penetrate a greater amount of armor due to the oblique angle.

What was needed was a means of delivering the shaped charge warhead from a distance.

When the shaped charge detonates, most of its energy is focused on the steel plate, driving it forward and pushing the test gas ahead of it.
