US12332032 - Barrier-breaching munition

The patent describes a rocket-propelled munition designed to breach barriers, featuring a rocket motor that not only accelerates the munition but also acts as a kinetic penetrator. A successive payload, which is towed by the rocket motor, is intended for delayed detonation after the rocket motor impacts the barrier.

Claim 1

1. A flown munition that is rocket-propelled for hitting a target behind a barrier, and which comprises: a rocket motor; and a successive payload that is mounted behind said rocket motor in a tandem configuration and is towed by the rocket motor; and wherein said rocket motor is used for accelerating the munition towards the barrier and also serves as a sort of kinetic penetrator to clear a passage through the barrier for said successive payload, which is connected to and towed by the rocket motor, and said successive payload is adapted for delayed detonation following and just after said rocket motor hits the barrier. a rocket motor; and a successive payload that is mounted behind said rocket motor in a tandem configuration and is towed by the rocket motor; and wherein said rocket motor is used for accelerating the munition towards the barrier and also serves as a sort of kinetic penetrator to clear a passage through the barrier for said successive payload, which is connected to and towed by the rocket motor, and said successive payload is adapted for delayed detonation following and just after said rocket motor hits the barrier.
