Vesuvius is a highly versatile, user-filled charge container system for anti-armour, demolition, and EOD applications. It offers two projectile options:

• • Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP)
  • Gladius Fragmenting Projectile

Vesuvius EFP™ uses the Misnay-Schardin effect to explosively form a highly effective penetrator. It can penetrate 60mm mild steel from a 6-50 metre stand-off. This EFP is the larger and more capable version of the Krakatoa SB EFP, providing a highly accurate, powerful stand-off anti-armour / anti-structure effect. The Vesuvius Gladius projectile can destroy thin-skinned targets such as aircraft, helicopters, or factory/IT equipment. It is filled with 348 steel projectiles and designed to produce a linear pattern, hitting the target from a 2 – 50 metres stand-off. The low fragmentation-producing plastic body incorporates Picatinny Rails to enable users to integrate sighting and stand systems.
