Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM)

The US Army's Bunker Defeat Munition

BDM is the first lightweight shoulder fired weapon system with true Multipurpose effectiveness, and uses the same High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) rocket as in the USMC SMAW. The HEDP rocket is packaged in a rugged, compact telescoping, disposable launcher that has all gunner controls needed to aim and fire the weapon. The BDM is highly effective against double reinforced concrete, triple brick, solid adobe, earthen fortifications, caves and technical vehicles.
