A penetrating vehicle having a rocket motor includes an elongated projectile body with a forward section for holding a payload and a rearward section for housing the rocket motor. The vehicle contains a fuse that ignites the propellent of the rocket motor during impact of the projectile body with a surface barrier. The propellent provides high thrust in a rapid burn time and thereby counteracts undesirable deceleration forces acting on the body during impact. The high thrust also promotes a maximum penetration of the projectile body within the surface barrier.

A penetrating vehicle comprising: an elongated projectile body having a forward section and a rearward section; a rocket motor for causing said projectile body to penetrate and traverse a surface barrier following initial contact of said projectile body with said surface barrier; said rocket motor including a high energy propellent positioned within said rocket motor for rapid combustion so that said rocket motor provides high thrust to said projectile body that counteracts deceleration forces caused by said initial contact and that promotes a penetration distance of said projectile body into said surface barrier; wherein said propellent extends substantially the length of said elongated body from said forward section to said rearward section; and a rocket motor case venting charge disposed at a position along the inside wall of said elongated projectile body, said charge being connected to a fuse for detonation at a desired period as sensed by said fuse.
