Water-Tamped Explosive Charges
The Breaching Kit includes various sizes of water-tamped explosive charges, which have a variety of tactical applications.
The renowned GatecrasherTM is a wall-breaching charge that can make a man-sized hole in walls up to 50cm (20in) thick. If your operations require it, Gatecrasher can be provided in a rollable, modular variant for easy deployment.
Breacher’s BootTM and Mini Breacher’s BootTM are effective at punching through various doors, including heavy fire doors, and can be requested for inclusion in the kit.
Tamped Strip/Frame Charges
You can deploy Alford Strip charges as straight lengths or configure them as a frame charge using the corner and t-joint pieces. Charges are filled with an inert water-based gel, which enhances tamping and minimises fragmentation. Alford Strip is provided in 25mm and 42mm diameters.
Demolition Charges
The Universal Demolition Block (UDB) charge can be provided in two sizes upon request. It can be used to gain entry through compound walls, for countermining, or as a general demolition charge.
Developed specifically to carry PE7 blocks and most types of plastic explosive, the explosive can be inserted either in its original wrapping, cut to size, or moulded into the slide-out explosive tray.
Accessories and Adhesive Tapes
The Alford Strip charge is provided with corner pieces and T-joints to make frame charges. End caps are also provided so the strips can be cut to shape and the cap inserted to keep the water-based gel secure inside the charge.
Two types of adhesive tape are also provided: one for wet conditions and one that is highly adhesive for firm positioning.
Optional Extras and Spares
Other products are available for breaching teams that require a Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) capability. Spare charges and accessories can be purchased as the items are used.
