A multi-tool for disrupter breech maintenance includes an elongate body having a first axial end and a second axial end. The elongate body encases a storage volume commencing at and accessible from the second axial end. An open-ended rectangular notch in a radial wall of the elongate body has a planar base. A hole extends radially through the elongate body with the hole originating in the notch's planar base and having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the planar base. A rectangular well in the radial wall of the elongate body is provided adjacent to the rectangular notch. A first hexagonal socket is coupled to the first axial end of the elongate body. A second hexagonal socket is provided for attachment to the second axial end of the elongate body.

A shape charge holder includes a platform where all the charges are symmetrically positioned about equidistance from each adjacent charge and about an equal distance from a center point. The center point is generally the centroid of the platform. The holder has an explosive bridge fixture which enables simultaneous detonation of at least three shape charges. The charges are angularly mounted in sockets having holes through the platform. When detonated, each jet formed by the exploding shape charge proceeds to a convergence point located orthogonal to the platform. The holder includes a supporting structure that establishes a standoff distance of the platform/charges from a target. In operation, the explosive fixture is attached to each charge and is filled with an explosive that extends to each charge. The explosive fixture includes a single igniter assuring that when the explosive is detonated, so are the shape charges.

Holder that converges jets created by a plurality of shape charges

A bomb suit carrier is constructed from a sheet of fabric material shaped to fit within the front torso portion of a bomb suit. A sheet of loop material is attached to the sheet of fabric material and a plurality of parallel straps are attached to the side of the sheet of fabric material having the sheet of loop material. The parallel straps form a pouch attachment ladder system and include loop material along their entire length. A hole passes through the sheet of fabric material to accommodate a rapid doffing handle of a bomb suit to which the bomb suit carrier is attached. An attachment mechanism is provided to secure the sheet of fabric material to the bomb suit.

Hands free bomb suit tool carrier

The invention, as embodied herein, comprises a back worn pack that allows a user to transport both energetic materials, such as primary explosives, and energetic initiators, such as blasting caps, within the pack without the threat of premature initiation of the energetic materials.
