This is the principles of BROACH warhead according to BAE
1-How come the precursor charge doesn't destroy the follow through bomb?
2- HEAT warhead leave very small hole compared to their diameter, so how is it possible to have a hole big enough for the follow through bomb to get in?
The AGM-154C uses an Imaging Infrared (IIR) terminal seeker with autonomous guidance. The AGM-154C carries the
BROACH warhead. This two stage warhead is made up from a WDU-44 shaped augmenting warhead and a WDU-45
follow through bomb. The weapon is designed to attack hardened targets. It entered service with the US Navy in
February 2005. The BROACH warhead is a multi-stage warhead. The two stage warhead is made up from an initial
shaped charge, which cuts a passage through armour, concrete, earth, etc., allowing a larger following warhead to
penetrate inside the target
