			The Bund Blasting Device consists of a hollow charge initiation device and a main high-explosive (HE) filled projectile that is attached to a rocket motor. The hollow charge creates a pilot hole in the embankment, and the HE-filled projectile enters the hole and detonates, creating a large crater that lowers the height of the embankment.<ref name="drd2">{{cite web \|title=Bund blasting device \|url=http://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/TBRL/English/index.jsp?pg=achieve.jsp \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120507134156/http://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/labs/TBRL/English/index.jsp?pg=achieve.jsp \|archive-date=7 May 2012 \|accessdate=20 January 2013 \|publisher=DRDO}}</ref><ref name="drd1">{{cite web \|title=BBD - Specifications \|url=http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/pub/techfocus/oct1999/bund.htm \|accessdate=20 January 2013 \|publisher=DRDO}}</ref>
