It has Grenades or some other form of propellant in the bottom of it and can be filled with Napalm ("Fire" Fougasses) or spent shell casings and various bits of metal ("Shrapnel" Fougasses). They can be remote detonated, sending fire and shrapnel upwards, cutting down anything above them for up to several meters.
