Ultra Electronics Maritime Systems offers a communications device that can link 4Khz of digital voice or data to a diver or vehicle 50 meter underground, or submerged. Several such devices can be used to locate (triangulate) a and track vehicles underground, underwater or in tunnels and mines.

The tripod radar can detect various threats based on the composition of material, from a distance if 6-40 meters. A hand-held system weighing 2.8 k is also available, capable of detecting threats at range up to 10 meters.

The charges are powered by compressed gas (CO2 ) and create a noise, flash/smoke effect.

The device is using a wate container surrounded by a linear shaped charge. When activated, the explosion forms a jet of water slicing through a suspected object at a speed of 1200 m/sec, devastating the target and disrupting its triggering mechanism. While devastating at a close range, the water jet rapidly dissipate at longer range, thus eliminating collateral damage. Photo: Tamir Eshel, Defense-Update.
