It is highly desirable that the technology meets Objective requirements = (O) The technology must meet Threshold requirements = (T) These non-straight geometric arrangements of the APOBS after deployment may result in unexploded grenades as the grenades detonate from the rear and front fuzes to the center connector. ![]() This transverse wave can result in arc, u-shape or loops forming along the detonation cord. Due to rocket motor thrust, current drogue chute drag or impulse drag of the rear backpack and/or drogue chute, environmental conditions or some unknown factor during deployment results in the grenades deploying with a transverse wave along the detonating cord. The optimal deployment of the APOBS' grenades is a straight line. This SBIR topic would identify a lightweight engineering design solution and tool to identify and set an optimal launch angle for APOBS rocket motor deployment to prototype an engineering change to the APOBS system to optimize the deployment of the APOBS to minimize geometric shapes. During set-up on uneven or hilly terrain, Marines are trained to improvise backpack supports to adjust the angle of the launch rod. ![]() The APOBS kit consists of an aluminum shipping and storage container, a front backpack assembly containing a 25-meter front line charge segment, a rear backpack assembly containing a 20-meter rear line charge segment with rear fuze, a rocket motor front fuze assembly, and a MK19 electric squib inside a sealed foil bag or a non-electric initiator (shock-tube) packed in a fabric reinforced, foam lined container.Ĭurrently the launch rod for the APOBS is installed to the front backpack at a static launch angle. It is a self-contained, two-person portable, one-shot expendable linear demolition charge system used by assault elements. OBJECTIVE: Develop a technology to identify and set an optimal launch angle for system deployment and develop an engineering solution to minimize geometric shapes in the line charge deployment.ĭESCRIPTION: The current Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System (APOBS) consists of grenades, equally spaced on a fabric reinforced detonating cord over-braided in a polyester support structure. Offerors are advised foreign nationals proposed to perform on this topic may be restricted due to the technical data under US Export Control Laws. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals (FNs), their country(ies) of origin, the type of visa or work permit possessed, and the statement of work (SOW) tasks intended for accomplishment by the FN(s) in accordance with the Announcement. The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which controls dual use items.
