High Order

The High Order range is a family of self-fill, easily transportable disruptors designed for high order outcomes (and related neutralisation tasks) on land or at sea to 300m, deployable via ECS systems or by ROV, diver, UGV or UxO personnel.

The Challenge

Achieve high order effects with confident placement, stand-off, and initiation control

When an operation calls for a high order outcome, operators still have to deliver it safely, accurately, and repeatably—often in poor visibility, dynamic sea states, and time-critical conditions.

The practical challenges stack up: getting the disruptor into the right position relative to the target; maintaining stable, reliable placement at up to 300m; selecting the right disruptor format for the task (shaped charge vs linear cutting); and ensuring the initiation approach fits the mission setup (manual, coded RF, acoustic; NONEL or electric).

On top of that, teams need equipment that keeps logistics simple—self-fill, transportable, buoyancy neutral where required, and compatible with aiming aids—so the firing chain can be executed with confidence and minimal rework between serial tasks.

High Order Key features & benefits

What High Order solves

This range combines non-magnetic construction, self-fill convenience, multi-method initiation, and subsea-rated performance with options tailored to the job—high-output shaped charges for high order effects, NAU-enabled attachment where needed, and linear charge capability for cutting and access.

Convenient, cost-effective, self-filled disruptors designed to be easily transportable and practical to prepare.

We work closely with the Defence Scientific Technical Laboratories (DSTL), National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and various defence organizations, utilizing 3D modelling and SolidWorks applications to support new technologies.

Choose shaped charge disruptors for target effects, or the BX-300 linear charge for cutting pipes/cables and related neutralisation tasks; BX-300 units can be linked for multiple cutting charges with simultaneous detonation.

Designed for land or sea use to 300m, with NONEL or electric detonation and initiation compatibility including manual, coded RF and acoustic methods (by product).
