The LGH has been designed to meet the U.S. Army requirement for a small, light, and highly effective means to defeat tripwire mines and booby traps.

The LGH can be configured to operate with most standard infantry rifles, including the M-16, M-4, and NATO G-3, as well as with single-shot commercial rifles.

The range is approximately 100 meters with the M-16, and is reported to be close to 200 meters with the G-3. The LGH is reusable at least 20 times.

The compact standard package contains the grapnel, bullet trap. bridle, and retrieval line. The LGH is type classified by the U.S. Army (NSN 1095-01-412-4150) and is in full rate production in the U.S. by SAA International, Ltd, under a U.S. DoD approved Quality Assurance Plan.

The LGH has been demonstrated to meet all desired effectiveness and safety criteria.
