Shaped charge optimisation against bulging targets
Equivalent to the results against explosive reactive armour sandwiches also bulging armours can be better defeated by high performance precision shaped charges compared to so-called robust shaped charges. The shaped charges with larger liner angles or thicker liners have less jet tip velocities which results in less residual penetration capabilities.
