| Abstract: | The embedding of wave shaper in a shaped charge is one of the effective approaches to improve the damage performance. This article provides an overview of the current research status and technical characteristics of shaped charge warheads with wave shaper. It briefly elaborates on the principle of how baffles enhance the damage performance of shaped charges, and makes a concise commentary on the three performance control methods for shaped charges, namely baffle material, baffle diameter, and the height of the explosive on the cap. It summarizes the application effects of baffles in various shaped charge warheads and introduces the power of shaped charges with baffles from the aspects of jet velocity and penetration depth. It also looks forward to the application status and development prospects of shaped charge warheads with baffles, which can offer a reference for the optimization design of the structural parameters and performance of shaped charge warheads. |
