A modular disruption system is described. The modular disruption system can include one or more interchangeable barrel sections, each interchangeable barrel section being configured to support a different ammunition caliber. The modular disruption system can also include one or more interchangeable chamber sections, each interchangeable chamber section being configured to support a different ammunition caliber. Each interchangeable chamber section can be configured to detachably attach to each interchangeable barrel section.

Modular disruption systems for explosive ordnance disposal

The disclosed technology includes a bumper system for use with an Explosive Ordnance Disposal disruptor. The bumper system can include a bumper stop configured the slidably engage the disruptor, and a bumper configured to receive at least a portion of an initiation system of the disruptor. The bumper may be configured to receive at least a portion of the initiation system such that the bumper is attached to the at least a portion of the initiation system by friction.

Bumper system for an explosive ordnance disposal disruptor

A modular charge system based on a standard module fitted with a flying plate or a liner and axially coupled to other modules to configure the size and type of charge. The explosive is enclosed in a casing, which has a cylindrical wall with a plurality of external longitudinal rails that run lengthwise. The rails are substantially parallel, and approximately equidistantly spaced around the perimeter of the casing. The space between a pair of rails defines a channel. The casing rails function as a cylindrical tamper. The explosive is partitioned into removable portions and permanent portions, where the removable portions are separated from the permanent portions and any retained removable portions, therein enabling the module to be fitted with a variety of flying plates, liners and other hardware. Modules may be coupled utilizing internal slides, positioned in the channels to join modules.

Modular charge system

The assemblable module charge system includes a set of quadrant panels, where an individual quadrant panel is a fractional component of a cylindrical wall having a plurality of external longitudinal parallel rails separated by channels. The fractional cylindrical wall has a sectional length with fastening side edges. The set of panels may be stored as a flat-pack and assembled into a single module. The volume of the flat-pack is less than half the volume of the assembled module. The flat-pack is a group of unassembled quadrant panels nested to minimize space. The system uses elongate slides that may be frictionally positioned in channels shared by the module and a charge system. The charge system is a prepackaged explosive that may be fastened to the assembled module.
