Spotting Charge

A spotting charge refers to a small explosive charge that is used to initiate the detonation of a larger explosive device. It is typically placed in close proximity to the main charge and is designed to ensure reliable and efficient detonation. The purpose of a spotting charge is to provide a reliable ignition source for the main explosive charge, especially in situations where the main charge may be difficult to ignite directly. Spotting charges are commonly used in military applications, such as artillery shells or bombs, as well as in industrial settings for controlled demolitions or mining operations.
