Explosive structure-removing techniques may be used to make certain air-to-air missile warheads more compatible with their airframe configurations; method evolved at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp involves use of explosive circuitry and charges to first perforate main airframe structure which is to be removed, and then blow off structure and portion of wing section attached to it; this must be done in such way as to direct removed structure aft, so that it will not interfere with exploding warhead material; linear-shaped charge is used for skin perforation moving at speeds of 25,000 fps; problems involved.
