Mini
shape charges or jet perforators, typically used in the oil well industry,
have been modified for application in humanitarian demining and UXO range
remediation operations. The innovative design of the perforators allows
for initiation without detonating cord and provides proper standoff to
maximize the effects of the jet. Successful utilization by the U.S. military
in humanitarian demining theatres around the world and by commercial operators
in UXO range remediation has proven the effectiveness of this technology.
It is effective when attacking individual targets ranging from small anti-personnel
mines to bombs. Typically 11 g charges are used, however 22 g charges
may be needed for special application. Both charges can be shipped via
passenger air cargo, and are classified as a 1.4S explosive.
