Probably the same thing, doing double duty. Dropped from a C130, the idea was that it cracked open spreading the CNG or propane or whatever, probably a heavy gas to stay close to the ground, then ignited, made a very distinctive VAaaaaVooossshhhh sound, clearing about 4 acres, no crater.

If some guys can get a grant at $50 a square foot to replant eel grass here at the islands, maybe we could get a grant to test this thing on LORANs
