Gladius SP

Field Proven Technology

With a history of over 40 years in explosive engineering, our Gladius SP solutions exemplify our proven track record in designing shaped charge systems. This extensive experience is a testament to our products’ operationally proven capabilities. They offer unmatched efficiency, accuracy, and reliability, giving you the assurance you need for their deployment.

The Gladius off-route mine systems – Krakatoa SB and Vesuvius – are highly versatile, precise, interoperable user-filled tools suitable for numerous land-based defensive and offensive scenarios, increasing light forces lethality and survivability. These systems adapt to your needs, handling everything from anti-material and anti-armour tasks to general demolition.

With their various sights and stands, Gladius tools can be successfully deployed in any location and environment. This adaptability ensures that our products perform optimally regardless of the circumstances.

Key Benefits of Gladius:

User-Filled Design: Allows operators to customise the explosive charge and select the correct projectile option for specific mission requirements. User-filled charges also remove transportation challenges of factory filled explosive charges and significantly reduce through-life storage costs.
Directional Lethality: Focuses explosive force for improved efficiency and reduced collateral damage.
Remote Deployment: Enables remote detonation for increased tactical flexibility.
Mobility: Extremely light weight compared to other anti-armour systems, providing rapid deployment and retrieval for ambushes and mobile operations.
NATO Interoperability: Already in service with 11 NATO nations, ensuring shared knowledge, training, and operational compatibility. Full training, user manuals and ongoing manufacturer support are provided to our customers.
Spiral Development: Current R&D is exploring developing both systems into smart multifunctional munitions to enhance anti-access and areas denial (A2AD) operations.
