The Thomsan Brandt BAP 100 is a French lightweight air-launched runway-cratering bomb developed during the 1970s as a lightweight alternative to the Matra Durandal. The BAP 100 has an 18 kg warhead with a fuse delayed action allowing a delay of explosion up to six hours after the bomb strikes the target. The warhead can penetrate one metre of reinforced concrete and destroy an area of 50 square metres.
