The development of High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT) rounds, also known as Hollow Charge or Shaped Charge rounds, can be attributed to the Swiss inventor Mohaupt, who demonstrated the use of a shaped explosive charge to maximise penetration. British No. 68 Rifle Grenade/AT might be regarded as the first HEAT weapon.
New active defence systems are being deployed, such as Trophy and Quick Kill, however they are designed to counter HEAT missiles rather than HEAT gun rounds. The muzzle velocity of HEAT bullets is frequently around 1000 m/s, making them quicker than HESH but slower than kinetic penetrators.
The Global High-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) missile market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The FGM-148 Javelin, also known as the Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M), is a man-portable anti-tank system that was created in America and is still in use today.
The high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead of the Javelin can destroy contemporary tanks by top attacking them from above, where their armour is thinnest, and is also effective against fortifications in a direct attack flight. It took the place of the M47 Dragon anti-tank missile in US service.
In contrast to wire-guided systems, like the system employed by the Dragon, which require a user to lead the weapon during the engagement, it uses automatic infrared guidance, allowing the user to seek cover as soon as the weapon is launched.
The tandem payload of the Javelin missile is a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) weapon.This round produces a stream of super plastically distorted metal made from metallic liners in the shape of a trumpet using an explosive charge.
An armour-penetrating narrow, high-velocity particle stream is the end consequence. A blast shield is placed between the two charges to shield the main charge from the explosive blast, shock, and debris that are brought on by the precursor charge detonating and the collision of the missile’s nose. This was the first blast shield made of composite material and the first to have a hole cut out of the centre to create a less diffuse jet.
