Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP)

Published: 26th July 2024

EFPs are a type of munition for penetrating armour, hardened targets, bunkers, and other fortified structures. They use an explosive charge to form and propel a high-speed projectile. Unlike traditional shaped charges that focus their explosive energy into a directed metal jet, EFPs use a concave metal liner that deforms upon detonation, shaping into a projectile that travels at high velocity towards the target.
