A squib assembly for a non-electric initiator of an anti-personnel obstacle breaching system includes a housing configured to connect to the igniter of a rocket motor of the anti-personnel obstacle breaching system, a slider assembly slidably contained within the housing and configured to connect to a shock tube of the non-electric initiator, and a pyrotechnic element disposed within the housing. Upon activation of the non-electric initiator, the squib assembly is configured to mechanically puncture a base of a initiator sleeve of the rocket motor and to thermally initiate ignition of the rocket motor.
