The 'Frangible' concept was developed to defeat both 'hard' and 'soft' targets, without recourse to the use of conventional high explosives and fuzes. On impact, the frangible tungsten alloy core penetrates the outer skin of the target and then progressively breaks up as it passes through the remaining structure, thereby releasing a highly energetic fragment cloud, which causes damage deep inside the target and ensures a high kill probability.
