Satchel Charge
Designed for defeating structures
Overview
Satchel Charges are easy-to-use enhanced blast explosive devices designed for structure and confined space defeat utilizing blast overpressure and impulse effects.
The MK179 MOD 0 (10 pound) and MK180 MOD 0 (5 pound) Satchel Charges offer very high level of blast overpressure and long impulse due to the EBAD-developed PAX-47 charge. PAX-47 is an HMX and aluminum based cast-cure plastic bonded explosive (PBX) that is qualified to OES-DTL-0123.
The Satchel Charges are manufactured under controlled conditions, providing high consistency, quality, and reliability.
