Breaching can be performed with a specially formed breaching charge placed in contact with the door, or with various standoff breaching devices, such as specialized rifle grenades like the SIMON breach grenade. [25] Explosive breaching usually breaches doors via one of several mechanisms: pushing the door inward (e.g. water charge), cutting ...
The anti-personnel obstacle breaching system (APOBS) is an explosive line charge system that allows safe breaching through complex antipersonnel obstacles, particularly fields of land mines. The APOBS is a joint DOD program for the U.S. Army and the United States Marine Corps .
The mine contains 2 kg of explosive to propel 450 steel rod fragments to a lethal range of 100 m (thus the "100" in the name), [2] at maximum range the spread of the fragmentation is 9.5 m. The mine alone weighs 5 kg but with the shackle and mounting spike the weight is 7.53 kg.
The Type 72 is resistant to shock and overpressure from explosive breaching systems such as the Giant Viper and MICLIC. A copy of the mine, the YM-III (sometimes YM-3), is produced in Iran. It is slightly heavier at 7 kg, with a slightly heavier 5.7 kg Composition B main charge, with a slightly higher activation pressure of 450 to 900 kg ...
MON-90. The MON-90 (Russian: МОН-90) is a Claymore-shaped, plastic bodied, directional type of anti-personnel mine designed in the Soviet Union.It is designed to wound or kill by fragmentation.
Laid out line charge being used to destroy surplus ammunition. Systems in current use include the British Python minefield breaching system, which can clear a 7.3-metre (24 ft) wide by 180–200-metre (590–660 ft) long path, and the American M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge, which can clear an 8 m wide by 100 m long path.

Much of their time is spent reviewing or preparing explosives safety site plans. An explosives site plan (ESS) is the composite risk management (CRM) process associated with explosives/toxic chemical activities to ensure the minimum risk to personnel, equipment, and assets, while meeting mission requirements.
MarkV-A1 or Mark5-A1 is a bomb disposal robot designed by Northrop Grumman for the purpose of handling potential explosives without risking any lives. It is part of the Remotec ANDROS line, which includes other robotic EODs (Explosive Ordnance Disposal).
