APOBS, or the "Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System MK 7 MOD 2" is a self-contained, one-shot, expendable linear demolition charge, capable of safely clearing a footpath through anti-personnel mines and multi-strand wire obstacles.

The CBC series cartridge is cleared for use on both Tornado and Typhoon aircraft, and provides a consistent release pressure with less debris in the release unit, leading to reduced maintenance and downtime. The CBC 4 Mod 1 is qualified with REACH-compliant propellant.
