Type

Composition
The entire system is mounted in a steel box that is placed or buried adjacent to the target's path.
Acoustic and Seismic Sensors
With the lid opened, acoustic sensors are positioned at the front end while the rocket assembly is raised into the armed position.
Both acoustic and seismic sensors are used to identify the target and launch the fin-stabilized rocket.
Warhead
The warhead section contains two shaped-charge warheads of the same type used in the TEMP-20 anti-helicopter landmine.
Note
The purpose of the system is to attack armored vehicles where they are most vulnerable, through the thin top armor. These are angled at 10º to one another and initiated by a 2-channel infra-red sensor to project explosively formed projectiles (EFPs) down onto the target.
