Abstract This paper deals with electromagnetic actions that allow one to control the shaped–charge effect at different stages of shaped–charge operation. A decrease in penetration of the shaped–charge jet is attained by passage of a powerful electric current pulse through it, production of an axial magnetic field in the shaped–charge liner immediately before shot, and production of a magnetic field in the conducting target material that is transverse to the direction of jet propagation. The action on a jet by low–frequency and high–frequency longitudinal magnetic fields and “mild” current action are directed toward increasing the penetration capability of a shaped–charge jet by increasing its ultimate elongation. Results of experimental and theoretical studies of different versions of electromagnetic actions are analyzed, and the associated physical effects are considered.
