A breaching device for controlled blasting of an object at short range includes a blasting element including an explosive charge contained within a housing, the blasting element being configured to blast the object from a preset distance. Connected to, and extending from, the housing is a stand-off rod having a length equal to the preset distance. A pyrotechnic lead pellet is associated with the blasting element and with the stand-off rod so as to detonate the explosive charge upon impact of the stand-off rod with the object. A tail is provided for stabilizing the device during its flight to the object. The tail is connected to the blasting element through a “safe and arm” device and a safety connector configured to reduce shock forces acting on the tail resulting from detonation of the explosive charge.
A breaching device for controlled blasting of an object at short range, the device comprising:
A safety connector for connecting a tail to a warhead and configured to minimize backfire of the tail on detonation of the warhead, the connector comprising:
A method for minimizing backfire of a tail connected to a warhead on detonation of the warhead, the method comprising interposing between the tail and the warhead a safety adapter configured to reduce shock forces acting on the tail resulting from detonation of the warhead.
