FM/BG-1530.V2.01 - Firing devices / detonators

Detonators are used to initiate explosive charges on command. Depending on configuration, a detonator may trigger individual charges or simultaneously detonate all linked explosives.

Available detonator types may vary by mod, FM/BP-386 - Era's and technological capability, or conflict setting, and may include functional limitations based on range or terrain.

Common detonators used in UNITAF include:

  • M57 Firing Device: 250 m effective range; signal affected by terrain.
  • M152 Firing Device: 5000 m effective range; signal affected by terrain.
