In tactical access, rescue, or many other missions, something always stands in the way of the tactical operators: a door or window prevents rapid access to the target, for example. So-called breaching tools must quickly remedy this situation, clearing clear the way for operators. Israel’s SAN Tactical Breaching will show its electro-hydraulic breaching gear at the booth of its German partner, Messer Waffenhandel. The SAN solutions incorporate innovative technologies based on light materials,
giving a single operator a powerful set of tools that can break into any structure at top speed. The system is supported by a battery powering a hydraulic pump, which is integrated into a backpack sufficient for 25 door breaches on one charge. Hydraulic pressures will overcome all obstacles. “At SAN, we believe that fast response, mobility, and multi-functional capabilities are major elements that enable defense and rescue forces to perform their tasks at maximum capability, therefore, we continue to develop, manufacture, and design lighter and more compact kits to meet optimal operational requirements. Our solution was created for breachers by breachers!,” says Itai Nakash, VP Business Development.
The hydraulic backpack brings multiple tools into play, such as a door-breaker, cutter, spreader, guillotine-/cable-cutter, or a long spreader. Once the obstacle is overcome, the breacher can easily leave the system behind thanks to a quick-release mechanism on the Fusion backpack, thus optimizing capability for mission completion. The aluminum door-breaker weighs 4.1kg (5kg for a hybrid version) and offers a lifting force of 6.4t with a 260mm stroke. No door will resist: everything can be opened in a matter of seconds. The spreader offers similar capability with an 82mm stroke, while the cutter will destroy 18mm of untreated steel and exercise a 22.4t force.
Next to this hydraulic power, SAN offers a muscle-powered cylinder opener with a lifting force of 2.5t and a stroke of 54mm, as well as a variety of Jimmy bars or manual wire cutters. Part of its turnkey solution is providing worldwide training courses and reusable training aids – such as modular containerized facilities, training rigs, or doors.
SAN also operates its own breaching academy in Israel and has been selected by TEES – the leading breaching school in the US – as its hydraulic
solution. The company will open a breaching academy in 2022 in the UK, with partner Level Peaks Associates. SAN Tactical Breaching solutions are used by Britain’s Metropolitan Police, the Guardia Civil in Spain, the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit in Serbia, and the Italian Carabinieri, among others.
