Bottler™ is an economical, water-jacketed omnidirectional disruptor for defeating small to medium-sized IEDs, from bags and suitcases to vehicle-borne devices. Shipped empty and filled by the operator with explosive and water, it removes the cost and licensing burden of transporting filled charges, making it simple to move internationally and store locally.

Operator-set NEQ from 20g to 200g. Cut the central charge tube to length against its printed gram and ounce scale, or use it as supplied

Ships and stores empty. No explosives in transit; fill at the point of use, preloaded or at the target

Two variants, three sizes each. Bottler™ for maximum disruption; Bottler Lite™ for controlled, lower-NEQ effect with less collateral damage

Built for arrays. Scalloped walls stop charges rolling and let multiple units tape together for larger targets

Vehicle entry by ROV. The 1 litre Bottler paired with WindowBreaker™ gains entry and disrupts in a single remote deployment

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.
