AP Bangalore Energetic Systems

Energetic Systems I Before After The APBT incorporates a unique and Operation patented design-feature which enhances its cutting capability against traditional non- An APBT tube connects to the detonator housing, nose cone and up to seven other tubes via a quick turn resilient and incoherent target arrays. thread. The design of the thread has been optimised to Application ensure ease of assembly under conditions where the thread is contaminated with sand, soil, or mud, whilst The traditional use for the has been to being strong enough to allow the tactical deployment of defeat simple or complex entanglements made up of barbed up to eight connected tubes (without decoupling). or razor wire. This design feature has also demonstrated cutting performance against a 6mm steel target. A single Specifications APBT tube can be joined with up to seven additional tubes for tactical deployment to defeat large or extended obstacles Initiation: L1A2, .L2A2, DCB up to 8 metres in length. Tube Diameter/ Length: 50mm/ 1000mm Description Charge Weight: 2.03kg DPX1/DPX10 The APBT provides a significant improvement in performance and is easier to carry and use than other products. It has Temperature -46oC to +71oC been chosen by and is in service with a number of countries Shelf Life: 5 years around the world including the UK.
