	High explosive anti-tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds are made of an explosive shaped charge that uses the Neumann effect (a development of the Munroe effect) to create a very high-velocity jet of metal in a state of superplasticity that can punch through solid armor.
		As the penetration continues through the armor, the width of the hole decreases leading to a characteristic "fist to finger" penetration, where the size of the eventual "finger" is based on the size of the original "fist".
		The BAD is mainly caused by the high temperature and velocity armor and slug fragments being injected into the interior space and also overpressure (blast) caused by the impact.

		High explosives are used as bursting charges for bombs, projectiles, grenades, mines and for demolition.
		Explosives that are characterized by a very high rate of reaction, high pressure development, and the presence of a detonation wave in the explosive.
		Because extremely high temperatures are required to initiate fusion reactions, a hydrogen bomb is also known as a thermonuclear bomb.

	Tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tank is characterised by heavy weapons and armour, as well as by a high degree of mobility that allows it to cross rough terrain at relatively high speeds.
		High explosive anti-tank weapons (HEAT), such as the bazooka, were a new threat in the Second World War.
		Explosive reactive armour, or ERA, is another major type of protection against high explosive antitank weapons, in which sections of armour explode to dissipate the focussed explosive force of a shaped charge warhead.

	General Air Munitions Data (Appendix 2)
		The terminal effects obtained from a high explosive bomb are determined by its fuzing.
		High drag bombs are MK 82 (500#) and M117 (750#) bombs with the conical tail fin removed and folding retarding fins installed.
		Upon detonation, the high explosive ruptures the warhead and dispenses the WP to generate a white cloud of smoke.

	Rocket Warheads
		The explosive shaped-charge in the AT/ APERS warhead detonates at the aft end, producing the jet from the cone at the forward end.
		The explosive charge is greater than that in the armor piercing warhead, but less than that in the fragmentation warhead.
		A small explosive charge in the base fuze of the warhead dispenses the flechettes through the nose of the warhead after rocket motor burnout.

	Task Force Smith
		One 105mm howitzer was positioned halfway between the battery and the infantry position in order to cover the length of the road and serve as an antitank gun.
		The battery had only six armor-piercing high-explosive antitank HEAT rounds available (one-third of the total on hand when the 52d was loading at Sasebo, Japan), all of which were given to the single howitzer forward.
		Antitank mines would have stopped the enemy advance, but there were none in Korea.

	Shturm
		Due to its long range of fire, short time of flight to the target and high noise immunity, the Shturm system possesses an incontestable advantage over such antitank systems as Konkurs, Fagot, TOU and HOT in terms of these characteristics in particular and overall performance as a whole.
		High noise immunity ensures effective firing without decreasing the target hit probability under natural and man-made radio and IR interferences.
		Another proof of the high combat effectiveness of the Shturm-V system has been furnished by the demonstration firings of the 9M114 (Shturm) and 9M120 (Ataka) missiles from the Mi-28A helicopter, which took place at the firing range in Vidsel (Sweden) at the end of 1995.

		Antitank fires are integral to defense, blocking further enemy movement and assist in creating favorable conditions for a counterattack.
		Antitank units occupy firing lines to halt the enemy penetration and destroy his forces prior to committing the counterattack force.
		Antitank assets, in conjunction with the regiments first-echelon battalions, would be employed to hold the flanks of the penetration.

	CLOSE-IN WEAPON SYSTEMS
		Antitank grenade launcher systems allow an infantryman to efficiently engage armored combat vehicles at short ranges and light fortifications, to suppress fire emplacements located in buildings and structures.
		The WH developed for the PG-7VR round was later on successfully used for development of the RPG-27 antitank rocket grenade with a disposable launcher and the PG-29V round which were put into service in 1989.
		The RPG-26 and RPG-27 antitank rocket grenades with single-shot launchers developed by FSUE "SRPE "Bazalt" are actually a soldier's individual weapon intended for fighting armored targets, they are also highly efficient for suppressing manpower located in bunkers, brick and reinforced concrete structures or in fortifications of various types.

	M20 3.5 Inch Rocket Launcher
		These launchers are designed to launch high explosive rockets and smoke rockets against ground targets.
		These high-explosive antitank rockets are capable of penetrating heavy armor at angles of impact greater than 30°.
		The body contains a copper cone, whose apex is to the rear, which acts to shape the high explosive charge of approximately, 1.88 pounds of Composition B. The penetration effect is derived from the shaped charge.

	NDM Article - Protection of Army Trucks Requires Tradeoffs
		Some modern warheads, such as the newer TOW antitank missiles, are designed to defeat this type of armor, experts said, by using dual tandem warheads, one detonating a split second after the other.
		The explosive charge is triggered by a side-looking radio-frequency proximity fuze, which senses the incoming projectile as it passes nearby.
		The explosion is intended to kill the passing threat but does not damage the protected vehicle, although many armor officers are not receptive to this technology precisely because they fear it will damage their own vehicles or harm friendly troops.

	60mm HVG Chilean
		It was a small 60mm gun that provided high velocity kinetic energy projectiles to penetrate unheard of amounts of armour at considerable ranges.
		This left the penetrator to fly at extremely high velocities and transfer a larger amount of energy to the target than it should be the case with a large diameter slower round.
		They were limited by the low internal pressures that their barrels could handle, thus, IMI then began to develop a new weapon to use a down scaled variant of the M111 round able to be fitted to lighter vehicles.

		Lovett said this surprised him, because the Iraqi military was presumed to have substantial supplies of Soviet-era antitank missiles.
		Instead, the main gun rounds of choice were the high-explosive antitank (HEAT) and multi-purpose antitank (MPAT) rounds, which despite their names are mainly used to attack unarmored vehicles and buildings.
		Units that deployed with the most spare parts fared best, but the pace of the drive to Baghdad meant spare parts were not pushed forward until the Iraqi capital had been secured.

		They were fired at high angle over low buildings and from around buildings with little or no attempt made to aim.
		Mortars, with their high trajectory, have also proved useful in the urban environment, but as with artillery, concerns about collateral damage have often limited their use.
		However, if they are willing to accept high casualties, and can either focus their firepower or simply mass it regardless of collateral damage, they will normally prevail eventually.

	RED THRUST STAR
		An antitank regiment is supposed to be able to take on a brigade attack from an unprepared deployment line with a 90% chance of success; a battalion should tackle a battalion attack with similar prospects of repulsing it.
		Antitank battalions should be reinforced with howitzers and air defense, at least as they enter battle.
		This is also true of all types of unit and formation that are assigned wide sectors in maneuver defense, or even in positional defense, given the greatly increased accuracy and destructiveness of air-delivered and indirect fire, and the consequent rapid loss of combat effectiveness to be expected on sectors where the enemy concentrates his fire.
