Terminal Learning Objective
Action Introduction to Modernized Demolition
Initiators
3
HISTORY

• Developed in the late 40s
• Used in Civilian Market
• Introduced to the Army in 1996
• Supplements and Partially Replaces
  the
  M6, M7 and Detonating Cord.

4
CONSIDERATIONS

• MDI DOES NOT CHANGE CHARGE
  EMPLACEMENT OR SETUP
• MDI IS STRICTLY AN IGNITION SYSTEM CHANGE.

5
CAPABILITIES

• Standard military demolition missions
• Deepwater up to 30 meters
• Quarrying(with special application).
• Instant or delay initiation
• Eliminates accidental initiation from static,
  transmitters, or electrical discharge
• Hybrid (two types of firing systems)
• MDI Stand Alone
• MDI/Det Cord, Det Cord/MDI

6
COMPONENTS
7
M9 HOLDER

• USES
• Secure a blasting cap (small flap end)
• Secure shock tubes to the blasting cap (larger
  flap)
• Can secure up to five shock tubes for initiation

• PACKAGING
• 50 Ea Per box
• 10 boxes per crate
• Crate Total- 500

8
M9 HOLDER
SECURING SHOCK TUBE

• 1-2 Shock Tubes
• Looped under holder
• 3-5 Shock Tubes
• Tied in a knot

9
M9 ISSUES

• Secures only high strength caps (M11
  M14)
• NOT REUSBLE
• Unit must request enough to support all
  training and live fire missions

10
M11 BLASTING CAP

• A branch line to a primary charge
• To ignite shock tube or detonating cord
• High Strength Cap

11
M11 DESCRIPTION

• 2 FLAGS
• 1 YELLOW (two meters from cap)
• 1 RED (one meter from cap)

• J HOOK CONNECTOR Used to secure det cord
• PACKAGING
• Individual coil30ft. long
• 6 coils per fiber board box
• 10 boxes per crate
• Crate Total 60 coils

12
M11 ISSUES

• Do Not Secure Det Cord and Shock Tube in
  the Same Holder
• Do Not Hold Shock Tube When Firing
• Use J- Hook to Secure to Det Cord
• Plug and Sealed End

13
M12 TRANSMISSION LINE

• Relay for the initiation pulse to another relay
  or high strength cap
• Low Strength Cap
• Command Detonation

Transmission Line Only
14
M12 PACKAGING

• 500 FT. per spool
• 2 Ea spools per foil bag
• 4 bags per crate
• Crate total- 8 spools/ 4000 Ft.

15
M13 TRANSMISSION LINE

• Relay for the initiation pulse to another relay
  or high strength cap
• Low Strength Cap
• Command Detonation

Transmission Line Only
16
M13 PACKAGING

• 1000 Ft spool
• 1 spool per foil bag
• 4 bags per crate
• Crate Total 4 spools/ 4000 Ft

17
M14 TIME DELAY

• High Strength Cap
• 5 minute delay
• Length may be adjusted
• Detonates Explosives, Det Cord or Shock Tube

18
M14 PACKAGING

• Approx. 7 ½ ft. long
• 6 coils per fiber board box
• 10 boxes per crate
• Crate Total 60 Coils

19
M15 CAP, DELAY
Currently a specialized use item only
20
M15 USES

• Provide a Delay in the System for Staged
  Demolitions
• Is usually used for Quarrying Operations

21
M15 PACKAGING

• 70 Ft Individual Coils
• 6 Coils Per Fiber Board Box
• 10 Boxes Per Crate
• Crate Total- 60 Coils/ 4200 Ft

22
M81 IGNITER

• To Ignite Time Blasting Fuse (M14)
• Ignite Shock Tube
• M81 has a stronger cap
• than M60, heavier case,
• and 2 plugs

23
M81 PACKAGING

• 5 Per Fiber Board box
• 60 Boxes Per Crate
• Crate Total - 300 Igniters

24
SPLICING MATERIAL

• PACKING

Enabling Learning Objective 1
ACTION PRIME EXPLOSIVES USING MODERNIZED
DEMOLITION INITIATORS (MDI) 051-193-1103 CONDITIO
NS You are given quarter-pound blocks of TNT, a
priming adapter, string, a sandbag, M2 crimpers,
and a section of Mll branch line. Some iterations
should be performed in MOPP 4. STANDARDS You
will prime the TNT with MDI-with and without the
priming adapter so that the blasting cap remains
in the cap well and is not damaged or handled in
a way that could cause detonation of the
explosive while priming. Reference TC 5-150
Engineer Qualification Tables
26
Enabling Learning Objective 2
ACTION CONSTRUCT A NONELECTRIC INITIATING
ASSEMBLY WITH MODERNIZED DEMOLITION INITIATORS
(MDI) 051-193-1055 CONDITIONS You have been
given detonating cord, an Mll branch line, an M12
transmission line, an M81 fuse igniter, an M14
time-delay fuse, an M9 holder, J-hooks, adhesive
tape, a sandbag, and M2 crimpers. Some iterations
should be performed in mission-oriented
protective posture (MOPP) 4. STANDARDS You will
construct a nonelectric initiating assembly-using
MDI correctly and in sequence. You will attach
the assembly to a detonating-cord firing system
so that, when initiated, it will detonate as if
it were live. Reference TC 5-150 Engineer
Qualification Tables
27
Enabling Learning Objective 3
ACTION CONSTRUCT A DUAL-FIRING SYSTEM WITH
MODERNIZED DEMOLITION INITIATORS (MDI)
051-193-1202 CONDITIONS You are given
detonating cord, an Mll branch line, an M12
transmission line, an M14 time-delay fuse,
priming adapters, M9 holders, M81 fuse igniters,
quarter-pound blocks of TNT, M2 crimpers, a
sandbag, and adhesive tape. Some iterations
should be performed in MOPP 4. STANDARDS You
will dual prime each charge using a combination
of both MDI and detonating cord. You will
correctly tie the charges into a combination
firing system (also consisting of MDI and
detonating cord) so the charges will detonate.
