An explosively formed penetrator (EFP), also known as an explosively formed projectile, a self-forging warhead, or a self-forging fragment, is a special type of shaped charge designed to penetrate armor effectively, from a much greater standoff range than standard shaped charges, which are more limited by standoff distance.

When the mine is triggered, the Misnay-Schardin effect generates a copper explosively formed penetrator (EFP), which can penetrate 40 millimeters of armor at a range of eight meters. The SLAM has an anti-tamper feature that is only active in the bottom- and side-attack modes.

The TMRP-6 (Serbo-Croatian, Croatian, Bosnian : Protivtenkovska Mina Razorno Probojna -6, Cyrillic script : Противтенковска Мина Разорно Пробојна -6 ) is a former Yugoslavian anti tank EFP mine. Developed with Swedish assistance (today Dynamit Nobel AG). The EFP disc was originally manufactured in Sweden then license produced in Yugoslavia.

Sep 21, 2023 · Explosively formed penetrators (or projectiles), better known as EFPs, were responsible for wounding and killing many American military personnel throughout the War on Terror, quickly earning...

An improvised Explosively-Formed-Projectile (EFP), sometimes called a penetrator, is a self-forging Misnay-Schardin (MS) Shaped-Charge (SC) warhead, or a Self-Forging-Fragment (SFF) designed to penetrate armoured vehicles.

An explosively formed penetrator (EFP), also known as an explosively formed projectile, a self-forging warhead, or a self-forging fragment, is a special type of shaped charge designed to penetrate armour effectively at standoff distances.

Jun 12, 2017 · Explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warheads have been designed to project a single massive high velocity penetrator to attack the top of armored vehicles.

Nov 2, 2019 · Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have proven to be highly lethal tools frequently used in asymmetric warfare. This has been particularly true of explosively formed penetrator (EFP)-based IEDs.

Aug 16, 2012 · Explosively formed projectiles (EFPs) have great potential to cleanly and safely defuse underwater ammunition. Underwater simulations and experiments were conducted to highlight the use of EFPs for safe destruction of sea mines. The copper liner configuration was used to study the penetration performance of the EFPs in water.

Jan 1, 2025 · This article presents a numerical optimization of an explosively formed charge insert based on an anti-bullet, anti-tank MPB mine (pl. mina przeciwburtowa, eng. anti-side mine).
