Safety for future
IEDD
Improvised Explosive Device Disposal
Pipe bombs, hand grenades, or potentially dangerous objects such as unconventional explosive devices in the form of fire extinguishers, gas cylinders and suitcases, as well as vehicles are often used in terrorist attacks. The use of a water gun as a defusing procedure (RSP – Render Safe Procedure) often causes severe collateral damage, especially in urban areas. ANT AG has therefore developed self-sufficient complete systems for the safe disposal of improvised explosive devices (IEDD – Improvised Explosive Device Disposal) using the waterjet cutting method.
Fields of application
- Pipe bombs
- Hand grenades
- Unconventional explosives like gas bottles, suitcases or fire extinguishers
- Large Vehicle Bombs (LVB)
The miniMACE Solution
miniMACE is a self-contained complete system with combustion engine, abrasive mixing unit (AMU) and high pressure pump (HPP) for accessing and deactivating Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). It can be used for car bombs (LVB – Large Vehicle Bombs) or other containers in which IEDs have been hidden, regardless of the material of the body such as steel, aluminium, plastic, wood, fibreglass, glass, etc. The miniMACE system can be connected to selected EOD robots.
