RAI-PP is intended for destroying equipment (vehicles, weapons systems, shelters, munitions and electronics), explosive ordnance disposal (eod) and improvised explosive device disposal (IEDD)

RAI-PP thermite charge itself does not include explosive or pyrotechnic materials. It is very insensitive and is not classified in Explosives class 1. In the transport package the UN classification of the RAI-PP assembly is 1.4S. This allows easy and cheap storage and transport.

During the burning the RAI-PP generates a lot of heat and white-hot molten iron, which can destroy efficiently various materials.

CONSTRUCTION

Rai-pp assembly is consisting of thermite charge, igniter, and handle. Also electric ignitor without handle is available. In the transport configuration the thermite charge, ignitor and the handle are apart and need to be assembled before use.

IGNITION

The thermite charge of RAI-PP is very insensitive. To ensure the ignition of the charge the igniter is specially designed for RAI-PP charge. The handle is equipped with safety pin to prevent the unintentional ignition.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
