MILITARY GRADE UNDERWATER EXPLOSIVE REMOVAL

The Mark V/Orca self-contained system is specifically designed for the removal of underwater mines, weapons or explosives.

  • Each Subsalve product is 100% tested prior to shipping.

Product Details

Fabric

Our products are manufactured with heavy-duty urethane coated nylon fabric. The nylon fabric has a breaking strength of over 1000 lbs. per inch, and the urethane coating is resistant to fuels and most petro-chemicals.

Safety and Ease-of-Use

The Mark V/Orca base system is available in 2,500lb (1,200kg) and 4,400lb (2000kg) versions and includes:

  • One enclosed lift bag manufactured of heavy-duty yellow 40 oz. urethane-coated
    nylon fabric for high abrasion resistance and fuel resistance.
  • Two 80 ft3 aluminum or 100 ft3 aluminum or 87 ft3 fiber-wrapped cylinders.
  • Pressure relief valves
  • Inflation manifold with hoses
  • Tank harness
  • Actuation valve
  • Surface command unit
  • Manual and electrical actuation

The system can be deployed by a single diver from a remote location, such as an inflatable boat.

  • Equipped with all necessary hardware – ready for immediate use.
Optional Accessories
  • Carry bag
  • Rigid storage/shipping box with carrying handles
  • Time delay actuator
  • Pneumatic actuation
  • Acoustic actuation
  • Spare parts kit
  • Tool kit
