Draken™ (part of Project Yellowstone) is a general-purpose barrelled water disruptor for carrying out render-safe procedures against IEDs in containers such as parcels and briefcases or for component disruption of power sources and switches. Depending on which of the two supplied barrels is used, it is equivalent in performance to the PigStick Disruptor and PigStick Lightweight Disruptor. Unlike existing disruptors, the Draken was explicitly designed for use in areas where obtaining ammunition is difficult or impossible. The disruptor is powered by a self-loaded 12-gauge cartridge case and a common electric squib.   The kit includes a stock of cases, squibs, and wads. The only thing that needs to be sourced locally is double-based propellant, which can, if necessary, be obtained from recovered small arms ammunition. It is made entirely from stainless components that will last for several years of use without special care or servicing.

A highly sustainable solution to IED disruption

Variable disruptive performance

Simple to operate

Ideal for operations in remote environments

Explosive Load and Performance

The designers of the Draken system focused on ease of use as the guiding principle. Separate barrels screw onto the chamber -a feature that significantly simplifies charging as the water fills the barrel and does not require a carefully positioned piston at one end.
A robust and chunky design helps reduce the system’s recoil, making it easier to fire from ROVs without requiring complex recoilless technology.

Kit Contents

A hard case and a tool roll, ideal for carrying during operations, are supplied with Draken.
The case includes all the tools required for assembling the cartridges and maintaining the system, along with consumables for 50 shots. Loading cartridges takes 1-2 minutes and requires no additional tools.
Additional sets of consumables can be supplied at a low cost, making Draken’s lifetime cost far lower than that of any existing system on the market.
The system is manufactured in accordance with Alford’s ISO 9001 quality management system.
