Warheads for SAM systems
Abstract
The effectiveness of surface to air missiles (SAM) warheads are to be described with the use of lethality models. Missile hits are divided in direct hits and near pass. In the near pass the fragmenting warheads transfer the HE-energy to the target much more effectively than blast warheads. With high hit densities special synergistic or cumulative effects is accomplished. Synergetic or cumulative effects are discussed. Special high fragment beam densities are obtained by aimable warheads.
