A shaped charge for efficiently transferring energy from an explosive material to generate a deep penetrating jet. The shaped charge liner is formed with a hemispherical first section combined with an elongated second section. The liner second section can be formed as a truncated cone, trumpet, or other shape. The hemispherical first section collapses to generate a high velocity jet portion, and the second section collapses to generate an elongated, deep penetrating jet portion which follows the higher velocity jet portion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A shaped charge activatable by a detonator to generate a deep penetration jet, comprising:a housing;a recess defined by an inner housing surface within said housing, wherein said recess has an open end and a closed end;a high explosive within said recess which is activatable by the detonator to generate a detonation wave; anda liner having a first section substantially formed as a hemisphere collapsible by said detonation wave to form a first penetration jet segment moving in a selected direction, wherein said liner further has a proximate second section between said first section and said recess open end which is collapsible by said detonation wave to form a second penetration jet segment moving in said selected direction for cooperating with said first penetration jet segment to form the deep penetration jet.
