Further improved flexible linear charge system

A field filled, flexible linear charge system for cutting through material by explosive detonation;

• the system including a flexible carcass for application to a surface;
• the carcass including a trough extending downwardly from an upper surface of the carcass and extending the length of the carcass;
• the carcass formed as a homogeneous body of closed cell flexible foam extending between a flat base and the upper surface;
• the trough including first and second side channels flanking an upwardly extending projection of the homogeneous body;
• the projection clad with a tamping strip liner formed as a composite of an elastomer and powdered metal;
• the trough in the carcass adapted for filling with an explosive compound at a site of assembly for use.
