A dual explosive charge is described that simultaneously enhances blast and fragmentation characteristics of the charge. The charge includes an inner driven charge of a non-ideal explosive surrounded by an outer charge sleeve of a more nearly ideal explosive. Detonation of the outer charge resulting in an extremely high temperature, high pressure environment that accelerates reaction kinetics in the inner charge.
