THE GLOBAL DEFENDER     

                      BLAST MITIGATION SYSTEM 

  The Global Defender Blast Mitigation System is currently available in 3 basic configurations.  Each configuration is customizable, based upon application and specifications.  Our 60 gallon portable systems are designed for a single application, utilizing our standard 6 foot x 6 foot enclosures.   For those that require multiple applications, or the ability to deal with larger explosive devices (greater than 2 pounds of high explosive), our trailer mounted system is for you. 

  All systems utilize our patent pending foam enclosures.  These enclosures, which are folded for easy storage and deployment, automatically unfold and cover the device as they fill with our foam.  They are made of a synthetic material designed to expand and then give way, if necessary, as the device is detonated.  This expansion is what allows our system to suppress and contain the blast effect, fragmentation, and any dispersible agents which may be attached to the device.  The enclosures have a solid bottom, which prevents any foam from coming into contact with the device.  This also allows the enclosure to be moved once it is filled, without spilling the foam. 

  Our systems are compatible and tested with most tools available today, including:  Disruptors, counter charges, perforators, etc.  Once a device is covered, you have 4 hours to deal with it before the foam begins to degrade.  The thickness and density of our foam offer many benefits, including:  Longer time to deal with a device once it is covered; Added suppression and containment of dispersible agents (the foam actually captures and contains the agent within its bubble structure, holding it in place for hours); Easier clean-up post blast (since the foam remains intact, it is much easier to clean up as a Haz-Mat afterwards, if necessary.  Foam is environmentally friendly, therefore, if no dispersible agents are present, it can be left alone to dissipate.)

(1) Global Defender  Portable System

60 gallon system, designed to be transported and deployed from trailers, Pick-up trucks, vans, or aircraft.  Completely self contained, with 100 foot non collapsible, light-weight hose.  Two nitrogen cylinders attached to the unit power the system.  Equipped with 4 all terrain tires for versatility. 

 

(2) Global Defender Fixed Trailer Mounted System

 

130 gallon system, designed to mitigate and contain larger IEDD's, up to 5 pounds high explosive.  This system is permanently mounted inside enclosed cargo trailer, with everything necessary to operate the system included within the trailer, to include; Electric Hose Reel, 150 foot of non collapsible discharge hose, 2 Nitrogen cylinders, and fluid transfer pump to re-fill vessel after use.  This system will fill our largest enclosure, 9 foot base by 5 foot tall, or fill two of our smaller enclosures utilized with the Portable System, 6 foot base by 4 foot tall.

 

(3) Global Defender Combination Trailer System

 

The Global Defender Combination Trailer system combines the Portable Wheel Mounted Cart with the Fixed, Trailer mounted system.  No matter what the circumstance, this system provides options to handle them all.  The Portable system is stowed within the trailer in it's own transport rack.  Once on scene, it can simply be wheeled out of the trailer and positioned wherever necessary, to include inside buildings, aircraft, etc.  However, if circumstances dictate, the Fixed system can be utilized to fill a much larger enclosure, or to cover multiple devices without need for recharge.
