I've been trying to figure out from media reports whether the recently announced "explosively formed penetrators" (EFPs) are different from the "shaped charges" that have been used by insurgents in Afghanistan for several years (see this story from Scott Baldauf and Ashraf Khan in September 2005, which talks about the adaptation of shaped charges from Iraq.)
So far it sounds like EFPs are a specific type of shaped projectile, and are based on technology which is neither new nor technically demanding. A recent story in Jane's Defense observes that "the knowledge required to manufacture and use EFPs may have become so widespread that Iranian assistance is no longer required" and Wired's David Hambling notes that typically "designs and 'recipes' are likely passed between groups online...giving terrorists a major boost in their arms race against countermeasures."
Some sources claim that the discovery of EFPs in Afghanistan is proof that Iran is supporting the Taliban against coalition forces. This prompts the question: if EFPs used today in Afghanistan were produced by Iran, does that suggest that the ones used there in years past were of Iranian origin as well? (If they were, that does not mean, of course, that Iranians were supporting the Taliban at that time, since it is possible that arms they sent to Iraq made their way over to Afghanistan or that the weapons were sold by smugglers...the same is true today.)
If you have thoughts on this, let us know in the comments section...
I know that Iranian markings on some munitions are being pushed as evidence of involvement (though I have my doubts as to what that actually proves, aside from people buying Iranian arms).
As for EFPs, they are basically just a type of shaped charge - and have been around since at least the assassination of Alfred Herrhausen in 1989.
A normal shaped charge is conical and gets much of its energy from the kinetic force of impacting on an armored surface, while the EFP gets all its energy from the physics of directing and focusing the explosive energy of the device itself.
The strange thing is, EFPs are actually less "dangerous" than a normal shaped charge because they can only penetrate steel as thick as their diameter (larger shaped charges, like those found on anti-tank missiles, can penetrate 6-10x their diameter of armor).
Hope that helps!

Carl:
EFPs are a kind of shaped charge, yes.
Posted by: Noah Shachtman | June 28, 2007 at 02:23 PM
EFPs are not shaped charges in the same sense that a bullet (projectile) is not an entire rifle cartridge.
The EFP is more like the bullet component of a rifle cartridge, whereas the shaped charge acts more like the gunpowder.
Basically, the EFP starts life as a convex sheet of malleable metal (like copper) who lives on top of a cylinder of explosive. When the explosive goes off, the shockwave bends the copper into something that looks like the top of a blowpop. Only this blowpop is moving really, really fast, like 1-2 km/s. At these velocities, solids act like liquids when they are struck, thus the armor penetrating power.

just to reflect on the comment left by joshua foust. in my opinion efp's are more dangerous than a shape charge. an efp slices through armor like a hot knife through butter, capable of cutting holes through multiple abrams tanks igniting any flamable materials that it comes in contact with. but yes an efp is a type of shape charge. it just moves at a higher velocity and can pierce thicker armor than a conventional shape charge which uses melted glass instead of metal.

EFP are not a shape charge in the doctrinal sense. RPGs are shape charges, RKG, and most other AT munitions. The difference is shape charges utilize a molten jet to cut the armor. EFPs are solid and do not transition to a molten state. The projectile is moves so fast that it breaks apart and creates a compound impact effect that drives through the armor. Speed is what makes the efp deadly not a jet.

Air Jordans were an instant hit thanks to a high flying rookie as well as one of the best marketing campaigns put together by Weiden and Kennedy. Air Jordan sneakers have been the top selling signature basketball shoe that Nike has ever produced.
In addition to the signature Air Jordans 1, Jordan Brand has a major presence in the basketball and lifestyle market.
The Air Jordan 2 again stood out from all of the other basketball shoes with a faux lizard skin on the side of the shoe.
The Air Jordan 3 broke ground for many different aspects of the Nike Air Jordan shoe line. First, the Air Jordan 3 featured the “Jumpman” on the tongue of the shoe.
Nike continued the Air Jordan 4 commercials with Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee) and created the famous Can/Can’t TV commercial.
Though the Air Jordan 5 would sell just fine on its own, the fact that the shoes had clear rubber soles helped convince many Jordan collectors to buy a retro pair.
The Air Jordan 6 was released for the 1990-91 season. Winnersneaker.com can find it. This season and this shoe was part of a defining moment for Michael Jordan and all of the Air Jordans.
The Air Jordan 7 is a very unique shoe in the Jordan line as well as a basketball shoe. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. The Air Jordan 7 featured Huarache technology which made the shoe really stick to your foot.
The Air Jordan 8 was one heavy beast. Its base was clearly close to its predecessor but it had a lot more details, color and accents. It had cross-over velcro/leather straps and was so padded your foot got surprised.
The Air Jordan 9 was released in 1993 shortly following the announcement of Jordan’s retirement.
It seemed as if Nike wasn’t expecting to see Jordan back in the game so soon. Nike started to re-release older model’s of the Air Jordan series (Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2, Air Jordan 3) and the Air Jordan 10 soles featured an honor or an award from each year Michael had spent in the NBA.
The legendary Air Jordan 11 was first released for for 1995-96 season, designed by Tinker Hatfield. The Air Jordan 11 are the most famous and most popular model of the Air Jordan line.
The Air Jordan 12 featured something very unique in terms of design. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com.The Air Jordan 12 upper was stitched to resemble the Japanese Rising Sun flag. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. The Air Jordan 12 also was the most durable shoes out of the whole Jordan shoe series. In addition to this, the Air Jordan 12 provides the most ankle support which was great for keeping Jordan on the floor for the whole season.
Tinker Hatfield was the mastermind behind the genius design of the Air Jordan 13. The Air Jordan 13 is regarded as the best designed Jordan shoe by a large percentage of Jordan sneaker fans. The Air Jordan 13 was the first and only Jordan shoes to feature a hologram.
Jordan left the NBA in no better style imaginable. Jordan pours in 45 points as the Bulls earn their second three-peat with an 87-86 Game 6 win over the Jazz With Air Jordan 14.
The design of the Air Jordan 15 originated from the futuristic X-15 fighter jet developed by NASA during the 1950’s. The tongue of the shoe stuck out parallel to the ground. Many wondered if this was to resemble Jordan’s famous facial expression while soaring through the air.
The Air Jordan 16 hit the shelves following the successful (though ugly) Air Jordan 15. Jordan Brand found that Jordan didn’t need to wear the shoes in the NBA to be on the hot list of every other American teenager.
The Air Jordan 17 was released February 9, 2002. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. This was the first shoe released since Jordan’s 2nd return to the NBA playing for the Washington Wizards. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. The first color to release matched their jersey.
Creator of the design of the Air Jordan 18 was Tate Kuerbis (Jordan Senior Footwear Designer). A person that had been part of the Jordan footwear design team since 1999 and with Nike since 1995. The inspiration of the design is a combination fo a number of things.
In Air Jordan 19 a material was used that had never been associated with shoewear design ever before. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. The industrial braided sleeving (also called tech-flex) that was the main ingredient of the design is a material used in the automotive industry.
Tinker Hatfield was brought back to do what he does best - create the BEST Air Jordan shoes. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. The most noticeable feature of the Air Jordan 20 is the laser etched design on the lace cover depicting various past achievements of Michael Jordan and Air Jordans.
Air Jordan 21 extended heel counter construction provides enhanced ankle support. New foam-backed quilted collar complements the seamless booty construction to provide maximum comfort. Breathable mesh is brought to the tongue to dissipate heat while the adjustable tongue cover flips up to expose the breathable technology or flips down for a more sophisticated look.
Performance wise, the Air Jordan 23 is said to be above and beyond that of any other Air Jordan. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. For the third straight year, the Jordan 23 uses IPS (Independent Podular Suspension) Cushioning. For support, a carbon fiber plate extends along the bottom the of sole that modeled of Michael Jordan’s thumb print.
While the obvious name of the Air Jordan 2009 was a story in and of itself leaving the Jordan 1-XX3 series behind, the Air Jordan 2009 has as much in common as the prior models - a revolutionary design, unparalleled performance and one of a kind style.
And we can also find special Air Jordan shoes in Winnersneaker, like Air Jordan 1.5, Air Jordan 2.5, Air Jordan 3.5, Air Jordan 4.5, Air Jordan 10.5 Olympia, Air Jordan 11.5...
Beginning in 2005, Jordan Brand has brought back several “hybrid” Jordan shoes that take individual components from different Air Jordans and form one individual shoe. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. As part of the 23 year celebration, Jordan Brand started a multi-year campaign “fusing” the Air Force 1 with Air Jordans creating the Air Jordan Fusions.
Initially nicknamed the “retro Frankenstein”, the Air Jordan Spizikes (Spiz’ikes) had as many haters as lovers initially and probably a few more. Many anticipated that this was going to be a bust, but when word got out that the first colorway of the Air Jordan Spizikes would only be available along I-95 (as per Spike Lee’s request), the hype for these shoes boomed!
The Air Jordan 6 Rings is a combination of the seven Air Jordan shoes that Michael Jordan wore during his 6 Championship seasons. We can purchase it with free shipping from winnersneaker.com. That includes the AJ 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The Jordan Brand company released the "6 Rings" shoes in September 2008.
Air Jordan Fusion 3 is an Air Force 1 Blazer SB/Air Jordan 3 combination with a Reed, Dark Oak, White, and Medium Brown colorway.
The Air Jordans Fusion 5 was the second second series of Jordan Fusions released. For the three months following the Jordan Fusion 12, the Jordan Fusion 5s were released in a total of 13 colorways including kids colorways. Unlike the Jordan Fusion 12s, the Air Force 1 high did not have the recognizable Nike Swoosh on the side of the shoe and resembled the Jordan 5 much for than the Air Force 1 mid. The Fusion 5’s did have the Air Force 1 outsole with the “sunburst” added to the side of the shoe.
When it came time to fuse the Air Jordan 20 with the Air Force 1, Jordan Brand took the Fusion concept a step further with a lasered leather midsole to create an even closer resemblance to the Air Jordan Fusion 20. Rather than just a Jordan 20 upper on an Air Force 1 low outsole, the Air Jordan Fusion 20 ties the two very different sneakers together.
And we can also find special Air Jordan Fusion sneakers in Winnersneaker, like Air Force 1 canvas, Air Jordan Flight 45, Jordan MELO M5, Jordan Chris Paul, Jordan Trunner Q4, Jordan Collezione Countdown Pack...

That includes the AJ 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The Jordan Brand company released the "6 Rings" shoes in September 2008.
Air Jordan Fusion 3 is an Air Force 1 Blazer SB/Air Jordan 3 combination with a Reed, Dark Oak, White, and Medium Brown colorway.
The Air Jordans Fusion 5 was the second second series of Jordan Fusions released. For the three months following the Jordan Fusion 12, the Jordan Fusion 5s were released in a total of 13 colorways including kids colorways. Unlike the Jordan Fusion 12s, the Air Force 1 high did not have the recognizable Nike Swoosh on the side of the shoe and resembled the Jordan 5 much for than the Air Force 1 mid. The Fusion 5’s did have the Air Force 1 outsole with the “sunburst” added to the side of the shoe.
When it came time to fuse the Air Jordan 20 with the Air Force 1, Jordan Brand took the Fusion concept a step further with a lasered leather midsole to create an even closer resemblance to the Air Jordan Fusion 20. Rather than just a Jordan 20 upper on an Air Force 1 low outsole, the Air Jordan Fusion 20 ties the two very different sneakers together.
And we can also find special Air Jordan Fusion sneakers in Winnersneaker, like Air Force 1 canvas, Air Jordan Flight 45, Jordan MELO M5, Jordan Chris Paul, Jordan Trunner Q4, Jordan Collezione Countdown Pack...
