The aim of this course is to deepen the knowledge acquired from various fields related to the design of projectiles and warheads. Various phenomena related to the design of high explosive, penetrating and special warheads are treated.

Student gets knowledge for design warheads, taking into account the modern knowledge regarding the mechanisms of their action. Student acquires a basis for scientific research in this field.

Warheads. Characteristics of targets. Special topics in high-explosive and anti-armor projectiles. Special chapters in special purposes projectiles. Fuzes.

Numerical modeling of warhead action mechanisms.
