Merlin Recoilless Waterjet Disrupter

The Merlin Recoilless Waterjet Disrupter defeats improvised explosive devices through a high-velocity water jet. It physically separates the initiator from the main charge without triggering detonation. EOD teams use it in confined spaces, on aircraft, and in public areas where fragmentation risk must stay minimal.

Water serves as the disruptive medium. Its incompressibility at firing velocities produces a coherent, high-mass jet. This jet penetrates device housings, severs wiring, and disperses explosive fill. Furthermore, the recoilless compensator vents propellant gases rearward through an annular nozzle. This balances the forward jet reaction force exactly, producing zero net recoil at the mounting point.

The Merlin accepts standard electrically initiated cartridges compatible with other NIC Instruments disrupter systems. EOD teams can therefore use the same initiator inventory across multiple platforms. Tool-free cartridge replacement takes under 60 seconds in field conditions. Additionally, the Merlin’s compact dimensions and low weight make it directly deployable on robot systems including the Wheelbarrow and TALON. Robot-based render safe operations gain full waterjet disruption capability without a heavier platform on the arm.

The lightweight stand system adjusts to multiple angles and heights. Shot placement covers frontal, lateral, and angled approaches to the suspect device without additional hardware.

These systems serve Pakistan Army EOD units, Pakistan Police Bomb Disposal Units across Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar, Frontier Corps EOD teams in KPK and Balochistan, and Pakistan Rangers checkpoint security teams.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies the Merlin Recoilless Waterjet Disrupter for IED render safe, bomb disposal, and robot-mounted EOD operations procurement across Pakistan.
