The lightweight 125-pound system includes these features:

  • Delay and command firing modes
  • Deployable within 90 seconds
  • Deployable from a 35-meter standoff
  • Clears antipersonnel mines and complex wire obstacles
  • Clears a footpath up to 1 meter by 45 meters

As a certified insensitive munition, APOBS is safe to employ and transport.
