The rapid anti-personnel minefield breaching system and Bangalore torpedo are both examples of explosive devices used to do what?
Rapid anti-personnel minefield breaching system The rapid anti-personnel minefield breaching system or RAMBS II is a British rifle grenade used to breach obstacles and clear minefields. It is designed to replace the Bangalore torpedo, offering a more effective and flexible alternative. When deployed, the RAMBS II will clear a path 60 metres long and 0.6 metres wide, compared to the Bangalore's cleared area that is 15 metres long and 1 metre wide.
Countermine System The Countermine System (CMS), also known as Venom Darts, Venom Penetrators and GBU-61, is an anti-land-mine system consisting of chemical or explosive projectiles released from modified GPS-guided bombs. The darts are used to detonate or deactivate land mines in beach and surf zones. The system was developed by the United States (U.S.) Navy and Boeing at an initial cost of US$153-million. The CMS is expected to be field ready by 2016.
