a rocket motor; and
a successive payload that is mounted behind said rocket motor in a tandem configuration and is towed by the rocket motor; and
wherein said rocket motor is used for accelerating the munition towards the barrier and also serves as a sort of kinetic penetrator to clear a passage through the barrier for said successive payload, which is connected to and towed by the rocket motor, and said successive payload is adapted for delayed detonation following and just after said rocket motor hits the barrier.
