Training Heavy Portable Obstacle and Minefield Breaching System T-HPOMBS
APPLICATION
The optimal and skilled usage of the HPOMBS requires training of personnel using the systems in operational areas. By means of the associated training system, the T-HPOMBS, this training can take place in two stages. The first part of the training is an approach of the systems during the indoor formation by using the supplied T-HPOMBS which are inert and therefore safe to handle for instructions in classrooms.
The second part of the training is the live-firing exercise which can be done up to 10 times by applying each time a new pyrotechnic kit to the inert T-HPOMBS. This drill enables the personnel to get used to the steps of the firing preparation and because the T-HPEMBS equipped with the pyrotechnic kit to not contain explosives, it offers to the user a safe means to train safely at reduced costs.
OPERATION
The T-HPOMBS is supplied fully inert and replicates in form and function, the operational minefield breaching system, the HPOMBS.
However, to enable repeated firings for live-firing exercises some of the components, such as the dummy charges and the line, are specific to the T-HPOMBS.
The pyrotechnic consumables consist of one kit including the live rocket which, for cost and safety reasons, is smaller than the one in the HPOMBS, the rocket igniter, the blast simulator of the detonator and the firing instructions.
The inert consumables consist of one kit of packaging inserts and the repack instructions.
TRAINING OPERATION
1. Use the T-HPOMBS supplied inert for classroom formation.
2. Remove the dummy parts: rocket, rocket igniter and detonator.
3. Apply a pyrotechnic kit.
4. Follow the firing instructions for live-firing exercise.
5. Repack the T-HPOMBS by applying two kits of inert consumables.
