The Bangalore Blade™ is a game-changing, modern replacement for the Bangalore Torpedo.
Configured as a linear explosively formed projectile (EFP) array, it can cut wire obstacles, including razor wire, which conventional Bangalore Torpedos cannot effectively breach.
The Bangalore Blade™ system is a lightweight Anti-Obstacle and General Explosive Engineering Charge designed to be used like the original Bangalore Torpedo but with several advantages over the original design. These benefits include a cutting action in addition to a blasting effect.
In trials, the Bangalore Blade cleared a 10m path through triple-razor wire, while the original Bangalore Torpedo only managed a 3m path. The Bangalore Blade is supplied in 0.5m lengths that connect without tools to form the required length and can be provided either as a user-filled or factory-filled charge.
