explosively formed projectiles (or penetrators - EFPs)

The Army's modernization initiatives aren't plunging into the valley of death this week or even, in most cases, this year. It will take time to build prototypes, to test them and to figure out how the force will make the most of new technology. But over the next few years, enough of these projects have to make it ...

Bomb variants include: Explosively formed projectiles (EFPs) “camouflaged to resemble natural rocks.” The devices appear to be “armed by radio control (RC) and initiated using passive infrared (PIR) switches. They can be classed as radio-controlled IEDs (RCIEDs).” How they found this out: “Between ...

The devices were camouflaged to resemble natural rocks and contained explosively formed projectiles (EFPs) — plates of metal that are shaped by the force detonation into projectiles capable of piercing armoured vehicles. “EFPs concealed in synthetic rocks and documented by CAR in Yemen closely ...

It said there were three varieties, including anti-personnel mines and so-called explosively formed projectiles, which can penetrate armored vehicles and were used ... and possibly functioned in a manner similar to (explosively formed projectile bombs) that have been forensically tied to Iran and Hezbollah," the report said.

In 2007, his vehicle was hit by an explosively formed penetrator – a type of improved explosive device (IED). He sustained injuries which left him with an above the knee amputation, shrapnel pitted over his body, a surgically repaired leg, deteriorated hips, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress ...

It is also possible to create warheads with multiple penetrators and self-forging fins. At a cost of only $200,000 each, either the Flexrotor or the DX-3 provides affordable, long-range, precision strike. Small explosively formed penetrators can destroy aircraft on the ground or cause secondary explosions at ...

Bahraini security forces have intercepted large quantities of advanced Iranian weapons shipments and explosives, including armor-piercing explosively formed penetrators (EFPs). Since 2015, Manama has detained dozens of Bahraini nationals linked to the IRGC and Lebanese Hezbollah. Caleb Weiss is ...

Former Army Sgt. Michael Williams had dreams of making the military a career, but that dream quickly turned to a nightmare when he was injured while on a combat patrol in Iraq. Williams, who spent almost 10 years in the Army as a cavalry scout, was hit by an explosively formed projectile while deployed ...

Ironically, Trophy fires a miniaturized version of the Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFPs) that have destroyed so many US and Israeli vehicles in the last decade. An EFP is created in an explosive process — as the name says — but isn't an explosive itself. Critics have liked Trophy to “a shotgun blast.
