A projectile, particularly a kinetic energy projectile, whose nose cone is cooled due to the provision of an ablation layer and a thermal insulation layer (8, 9) on the exterior of the metal hood (4) of the projectile nose cone, and due to a highly thermally conductive medium in the spaces (5, 6) between the hood (4) and the payload (3) particularly a penetrator, of the projectile.

A projectile comprising: a projectile body having a cooled hollow nose cone, with said nose cone including a thin-walled metal hood, a thermal insulation layer provided on the exterior surface of said metal hood, and an outer ablation layer disposed on said thermal insulation layer; a payload disposed in said projectile body and extending into but spaced from the interior surface of said nose cone; and, a heat transfer medium, which is a highly thermally conductive metal paste, filling the space between, and being in contact with, said interior surface of said hood and said payload, whereby heat penetrating said thermal insulation layer from said hood is dissipated into said payload.
