Abstract

Creation of reliable system of target protection demands research of various ways of counteraction high-speed elongated projectiles. This paper considers the interaction of projectiles with plates and rods thrown towards by explosion. At contact projectiles and rods form a crosswise configuration. Deformation and destruction of projectiles reduce their penetrability and capacity to strike armor-target.
