v1.02
AP explosive devices are intended to deny dismounted movement and create risk for infantry operating on foot. They are generally small, often resembling a grenade and may have a pressure plate or trip wire to activate. Both victim and operator systems for detonation may be used.
AP devices are often used to shape infantry movement and may be present in clusters or integrated into broader defensive setups. Clearance enables freedom of movement but may require coordination with manoeuvre elements to maintain security during the process.
v1.03
AP devices are small and low-profile, designed to be difficult to notice during normal movement. They are commonly placed at foot level and may appear as compact charges, plates, or concealed objects positioned along likely dismounted routes to deny dismounted movement or shape movement in to a kill zone.AP devices are typically victim-activated. Common trigger mechanisms include pressure activation or proximity-based activation intended to detonate when infantry moves into the device’s effective area. AP devices are often used in clusters or integrated into broader defensive setups
