Alford's Breaching Kit equips teams with a complete, configured selection of water-tamped charges, strip charges, demolition charges, and adhesive tapes for Explosive Method of Entry (EMoE) and explosive breaching tasks across doors, walls, windows, and specialist targets. Every component is user-filled, so the kit travels empty and lightweight and is loaded at the point of use. Contents are configured to the team's operational profile and the targets they are likely to face; the image shows a representative configuration. Contact the sales team to discuss your team's profile and target set. All kit components are covered in our Explosive Breaching & MoE training.
Complete, configured selection of breaching charges
A variety of cutting, pushing and highly penetrative charges
Highly portable, even when filled
Kits configured to operators' requirements
Water-tamped charges — walls and doors
Gatecrasher™ creates man-sized holes in brick and masonry walls up to 500mm (20″) thick, using far less explosive than an untamped charge for the same task. When carrying a full Gatecrasher is not possible, Gatecrasher Modular™ rolls into a Tactical Sleeve for helicopter and confined-space deployment.
Breacher’s Boot™ defeats steel, uPVC, and wooden doors, and is the only charge of its kind approved for use by British police forces. Mini Breacher’s Boot™ covers uPVC, wooden, and lighter steel targets at a lower NEQ, with precision sufficient to open a car boot without disturbing the vehicle.
Tamped strip and frame charges — doors, windows, glass
Alford Strip™ splits wooden doors and windows, cuts laminated glass, and breaches uPVC doors, using only ¼ to ⅓ of the NEQ required by untamped charges. Supplied in 25mm and 42mm diameters with corner pieces and T-joints for frame charge construction, and end caps for cut-to-length sections.
Demolition charges — compound walls and general use
The Universal Demolition Block (UDB) is available in two sizes for breaching compound walls, countermining, and general demolition. Accommodates PE7 blocks and most plastic explosive types in a slide-out explosive tray.
Accessories and Adhesive Tapes
Breacher’s Tape™ for clean-to-moderate surfaces and HydroTape™ for dirty, wet, or repositioned attachments are included as standard. Corner pieces, T-joints, and end caps for Alford Strip are provided. Spare charges and accessories are available as components are consumed.
C-IED and police configuration
The kit can be configured with additional C-IED capability for police Counter-Terrorism and ARV teams.
