Projected water disruptors use a water projectile shaped charge to destroy bombs, severing any detonating cord. One example is the BootBanger, deployed under the rear compartment of cars suspected to be carrying bombs.
[16] Projected water distruptors can be directional, such as the BootBanger; or omni-directional, an example being the Bottler.
Portable X-ray systems are used to radiography the bomb before internvention. The purpose is for example to determine if a chemical charge is present or to check the status of the detonator. High steel thickness require high energy and high power sources.
There are a wide range of containment chambers from simple and sometime dangerous suppression vessel who on takes some of the fragments, to top of the line gas-tight chambers that can withstand multiple shots and still be gas tight and protect from
CBRNe. The containment chambers can be fitted on trailer to tow behind a SUV for example or fitted on an EOD truck.
The
ZEUS-HLONS (HMMWV Laser Ordnance Neutralization System), commonly known as ZEUS, was developed for surface land mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) neutralization by the U.S. Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV). It uses a moderate-power commercial solid state laser (SSL) and beam control system, integrated onto a Humvee (HMMWV), to clear surface mines, improvised bombs, or unexploded ordnance (UXO) from supply routes and minefields.
Another technique is Trepanation, in which a bore is cut into the sidewall of a bomb and the explosive contents are extracted through a combination of steam and acid bath liquification of bomb contents.
