Safety for future
EOD / IEDD
Making the world a safer place
In numerous countries around the world, millions of people suffer from the effects of mines and unexploded ordnance, mainly left behind from wars, civil strife or other conflicts. In addition, there are terrorist attacks with explosive devices from pipe bomb to large vehicle bombs.
For the disarming and deactivation of ammunition as well as improvised explosive devices, ANT has developed Mobile Abrasive Cutting Equipment (MACE) that allows to remove or demilitarise fuses remotely and safely. The technology is unrivalled when exclusion of detonations is a must. The MACE series is based on ANT‘s Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) cutting process.
