Bottler™ is an economical water-jacketed omnidirectional disruptor that is simple to deploy.  Two versions are available: Bottler™ and Bottler Lite™. Both come in three sizes: 0.25 litre, 0.5 litre, and 1 litre.  Bottler disruptors are designed for use against small to medium-sized IEDs, such as bags or suitcases. They are also effective in bursting open vehicles or other containers and disrupting the contents.  The 1 litre Bottler, when combined with a WindowBreaker™, can be a powerful tool for gaining entry to a vehicle and disrupting an IED using an ROV. The Bottler Lite charges are low NEQ versions of the Bottler, using the same principle as the original Bottler to provide a more controlled disruption with less collateral damage.

Can accommodate variable explosive loads

Highly potent explosive effect with a low NEQ

Multiple methods of firing

Effective against a broad spectrum of IED configurations

Explosive Load and Performance

The explosive weight of Bottler™ can be easily adjusted to suit your requirements. You can cut the central charge tube to reduce its length, and therefore the NEQ, or the charge can be used as it is. A scale displaying grams and ounces shows where to cut and enables the operator to load accordingly.
Scalloped walls prevent the charges from rolling once deployed and make it easier for two or more charges to be taped together to form larger arrays. To further enhance power and performance, use higher-density materials than water.

Deployment to Target

Bottlers™ are provided empty so that the user can fill them with explosive and water, mitigating logistical challenges. They are easy to transport internationally, simple to store, and conveniently portable in EOD vehicles. Charges can be preloaded before deployment or loaded at the target.
Depending on the application, charges can be used individually or multiple to achieve the desired effect. The effects range from ripping soft or loose internal vehicle components to completely opening the vehicle.
Bottler™ is the ideal charge to destroy or separate IED components inside a vehicle-borne IED. The 0.25l and 0.5l variants are very powerful yet small general disruptors. Applications include smashing roadside bombs made from concrete cast around projectiles to expose the inside for identification and disposal and the general disruption of hard and soft IEDs.
