DE Technologies, Inc.

DE Technologies was responsible for the design, development, and production engineering of the shaped charges used in this fully developed and tested rapid mine-clearing system.

In this system, a network of small shaped charges—each only 1" in diameter—is projected by a rocket across a minefield, where the charges are simultaneously detonated. The jet projected by each charge is capable of initiating the explosive within a buried mine.

Cutaway view of the shaped charge shows its copper liner, plastic casing, and attachment features.
