1. A mass focusing shaped charge to disrupt a target comprising:
an explosives shell having:
an explosives shell surface having an inside surface and an outside surface;
an explosives shell sectioned profile that is at least partially curved;
one or more symmetry planes;
an inner volume defined by the explosives shell inside surface configured to contain an inner volume of fluid;
a distal opening;
a distal body connected to the explosives shell distal opening to close the inner volume and contain the inner volume of fluid, wherein the distal body comprises a SMART material that is positioned between the inner volume of fluid and the target;
a fluid body, wherein the explosives shell is immersed in the fluid body;
a conformable layer of explosives that conforms to at least a portion of a surface of the explosives shell, the conformable layer of explosives configured for explosive initiation by a detonator;
wherein upon explosive initiation the inner volume of fluid is configured to implode and form a fluid jet that is forced in a direction through the distal body toward the target.
