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.
