MACE - mobile waterjet cutting system

Mobile water jet cutting unit particularly suited for Defusing large-caliber fund munitions EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) & IEDD (Improvised Explosive Device Disposal). Environmental exposure over the time has chemical and/or physical effects on ammunition & often leads to a critical in-situ situation of the UXO. Conventional Render Safe Procedure (RSP) is very often not feasible without contacting or shifting the UXO and therefore is considered as not secure. In such situations repeatedly it came to severe accidents with death tolls. Hence safety of transport to carry-off for final removal is also not given.Therefore in such cases blasting the UXO is so far used as a final RSP causing partly heavy collateral damages. This unit allows to remove or deactivate the fuse remotely, risk-free & safe by using the WAS Technology & specially designed manipulation systems. The deployment of this technology around the globe has become state of the art today and is an accepted RSP world-wide
