01What is being requested

The replacement of the current disruptor fleet of the NLD Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) service. It concerns equipment consisting of a metal tube filled with water to neutralize IEDs, with a preference for recoilless disruptors that are as lightweight as possible.

The Dutch EODD is looking for a replacement of the current disruptor fleet. A disruptor is a device that enables EOD units to neutralize improvised explosive devices (IEDs). A disruptor consists of a metal tube filled with a quantity of water. By igniting a gas pressure pattern, water is launched at high speed towards an IED or other object.

09Frequently asked questions

What is the intended operation of the disruptor systems?
The systems must neutralize improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by launching a high-speed water jet, so that the various components of the IED are disconnected and remain identifiable.
What preferences apply to the standardization of the equipment?
There is a preference for a standard (tripod) that is usable for all disruptors and for limiting the variety of patterns (cartridges) to as low a level as possible.
What requirements are made regarding the impact of recoil on robot platforms?
The systems must not cause damage to robots as a result of the recoil.
What is the desired architecture of the systems?
There is a preference for a 'family-type' architecture, meaning that the systems must have a modular construction and use shared components.
