A round for placement and firing in the barrel of a large caliber gun. The round comprises a cartridge case defining a cylindrical chamber having axially opposed open and closed ends. A projectile disposed in the chamber proximate the closed end, the projectile having a trailing end shaped to convert shock waves generated by detonation of the annular charges to projectile acceleration. An electrical detonator for each annular charge responsive to an electrical signal, and a power
