An extraction charge for threats buried underground includes a housing, a shaped charge disposed in the housing at one end thereof, and a canister disposed in the housing and spaced apart from the shaped charge. The canister defines an open-ended tubular pathway and includes an explosive material housed in a region of the canister that circumscribes the tubular pathway. A delay detonator is coupled to the shaped charge and to the explosive material.
