MajorMod™ Explosively Driven Water Disruptor
MajorMod™ is a user-filled, explosively driven water disruptor designed to defeat medium- to large-sized IEDs, using a blade-like water jet propelled by sheet explosive or detonating cord. Half the length of a single MLVD™ module at 320mm, it deploys by hand or mini-ROV and carries a maximum NEQ of 230g. Multiple MajorMods join end-to-end or side-by-side and fire simultaneously for coverage of a larger threat area when the IED's exact location within a vehicle, container, or large casing is unknown. For smaller targets, see DemiMod™, QMod™, and MiniMod™. For floor-penetrating VBIED defeat, see BootBanger™. Covered in our EOD, IEDD & Maritime EOD training.
Large-volume simultaneous coverage. Multiple charges fire together across a wider threat area when the IED's location is uncertain — the key capability for large targets where a single charge may miss
Penetrates vehicle doors for direct attack against IEDs within the vehicle; in array configuration, extracts and separates IED components from the boot or trunk in the same manner as BootBanger
NEQ from 70g (detonating cord) to 230g (SX2 sheet explosive), set by the operator at the point of use
4kg filled, mini-ROV mountable or operator-carried; 0.45kg empty for transport
Shipped empty, no explosive in transit, no export licensing implications for the charge body
Explosive Load and Performance
Using patented technology, MajorMod™ constitutes two containers: a tamper and a projectile, which fit together, sandwiching the explosive load, which can be sheet explosive or detonating cord.
MajorMod™ produces a blade-like jet of water which is capable of penetrating a heavy case and disrupting an IED contained within a large volume behind it. If the precise location of an IED within a large volume is not known, multiple MajorMods can be joined together and fired simultaneously to cover a larger threat area.
Deployment to Target
MajorMod™ is capable of penetrating a vehicle door and disrupting an IED located at a distance within the vehicle. When used in a multiple array, MajorMod™ can be used in the same way as a BootBanger™ to extract and separate IED components from the trunk / boot of a vehicle.
