Summary: Testing of explosives against a variety of built targets on a desert range.
Description: I. Close-ups of small target bunkers made from breezeblocks; "Builds 3 and 2" have "roofs" of wood and sandbags, the third "Build 1" has a "roof" made of custom brace panels intended for "individual overhead protection" (according to the label on a panel).
