stand-off rounds
The Poly Systems ‘heavy gel' ‘Stand-off Rounds' have been developed as an alternative consumable to dearm/disrupt/demobilise and provide increased operator safety. The RAKED is positioned outside the nominal three metres IED/EOD response operator with the advantage of ‘heavy gel' entry into a variety of packaging media, including metal containers.
The 27mm cal Stand-Off Rounds (SOR) is in three length variations:
132mm
100mm
66mm
Available in 25.4mm calibre. Other calibres can be supplied.
Soft target: operational parameters minimum distance from target – 7.5 metres. Has been successfully trialled and tested at over 10 metres.
Hard target: standard steel ammunition box – minimum operational distance 2.5 metres form target. Has been successfully trialled and tested over 5 metres.

Terrestrial use SORs are alternative RAKED consumables (to specifically enhance operator safety at ranges up to 50m) in projectile lengths of 132mm, 100mm and 66mm x 27mm. The required length SOR is loaded into a 27mm RAKED and positioned in the bore to suit the required discharge velocity. On impacting the IED/OED the SOR bursts through the surface material causing the environmentally friendly ‘heavy gel' to eject under momentum to dearm/disrupt/dismobilise the IED/OED with minimum fragmentation. SORs may be used in aircraft as a lethal projectile or for IEDD. FOB Cost per SOR (27mm calibre):
Luminous heavy gel round subject to quotation at time of order. |
