The Modular Large Vehicle Disruptor (MLVD)™ is a powerful modular water disruptor for use against vehicle-borne IEDs (VBIEDs), typically located in a vehicle's load-carrying area. Using patented technology, the MLVD functions as a water disruptor, a device that projects a high-pressure stream of water. This stream is powerful enough to penetrate a vehicle, sever links, and expel its contents without causing detonation. The MLVD is supplied in packs of three and can be configured in multiples. It offers many deployment options, empowering you to adapt to various scenarios. Operators can adjust the explosive load to suit the size and type of the target. A deployment stand is available to assist with the MLVD's deployment for your safety and ease of use. Each module weighs up to 5.5kg and has an NEQ of up to 720g when fully loaded.Â

Explosive Load and Performance
Depending on the desired explosive effect, you can load MLVD™ with detonating cord or sheet explosive. As well as being an LVBIED disruption tool, the charges can be used to breach doors and walls.
As an LVBIED defeat tool, when actuated, MLVD™ projects water jets horizontally with enough force to penetrate the side of the vehicle, disrupt the device, and then eject it through the opposite side. The entire compartment usually explosively opens, providing a clear view of the vehicle cargo area and separated IED components without initiating the device.
Deployment to Target
MLVD™ can be deployed to the target using the MLVD™ Deployment Stand. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) can push the stand to the target and position it in one movement. Operators can then remove the ROV to a safe location before firing to preserve it for further use.
