To remove means of combat such as mines and unexploded ordnance increasing use is made of hollow charges. Inherent in these is the risk of triggering premature ignition since their liners contain metals. According to the invention a hollow charge (4) suitable for eliminating means of combat is configured largely free of metals and has a liner (3) made of an electrically non-conductive, amorphous material. The material of choice is glass, which when configured correspondingly in addition has a projectile-forming effect and thus raises penetration capability. Apart from lowering environmental pollution the use of metal-free devices also eliminates false alarm messages in metal detectors during mine clearance and therefore significantly improves the safety of mine clearance personnel. The support (16) carrying the hollow charge (4) is fitted with a ball joint (13, 14), resulting in high adaptability to the place of use and type of combat means (M) concerned.

Pour éliminer des moyens de combat tels que les mines et les engins non explosés, on utilise de manière croissante des charges creuses qui présentent néanmoins le risque d'un déclenchement prématuré d'un processus d'amorçage, puisque ces revêtements contiennent des métaux. Selon l'invention, une charge creuse (4) appropriée pour éliminer des moyens de combat est conçue le plus possible sans métal et possède un revêtement (3) constitué d'un matériau amorphe non électroconducteur. On utilise de préférence du verre qui en outre, provoque avec une conception correspondante, une formation de projectiles et ainsi augmente la puissance de pénétration. Outre une pollution réduite, l'emploi de dispositifs sans métal n'entraîne pas de fausses indications sur les détecteurs de métaux lors du déminage ultérieur et accroît ainsi notablement la sécurité du personnel chargé du déminage. Le support (16) portant la charge creuse (4) est équipé d'une articulation sphérique (13, 14), ce qui permet une capacité d'adaptation élevée au site d'utilisation et au type du moyen de combat (M).
