Small Projected Line Charge (SAPLIC)

Description

A resilient plastic case, carried on an optional backpack frame, houses all the components of the SAPLIC system. A small rocket is fixed on a pivoting safe and arm device and is rotated into the firing position to align the initiation train. A wire harness attaches the rocket motor to the line charge, which is coiled to eliminate tangles during deployment from the case. The charge is an RDX-based plastic bonded explosive (PBX). A length of dual-shock tube with two initiators is supplied, connected to the safety and arming assembly, for use in initiating the rocket motor and the explosive line charge. SAPLIC is effective against surface laid and shallow buried anti-personnel mines.
