Abstract: Twenty spherical explosive lens charges have been fabricated, of which 10 have been sent to Sandia Corporation, where tests will be conducted. Flash X-ray photographic equipment will be employed. Ten more are undergoing tests at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to determine their gas profiles and damage-producing capabilities. Results of a comparison test of a homogeneous spherical charge and a spherical lens charge are reported. Techniques for, and problems concerning, fabrication of cylindrical fisheye lens charges are discussed.
