Experimental Shooting with Thor-1 Disruptor: New Type of Gas Device Used to Neutralize Improvised Explosive Devices
Keywords:
disruptor, explosive device, experimental, shooting
Abstract
The paper presents experiments conducted with disruptor THOR-1, a new type of gas-dynamic device used to neutralize improvised explosive devices.
Disruptor THOR-1 [1] was designed and practically built as a gas-dynamic device that propels jets using colloidal particulate blast.
