The Canadian Department of National Defence has selected Chemring Technology Solutions’ Breach MC radio frequency initiator for use by the Canadian Armed Forces. Breach MC will enable specialised groups, such as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams, to remotely initiate explosive charges at close range for dismounted operations. Breach MC will be supplied via Canada-based distributor Deltic Group, with the contract valued at CAD 996,000. Mike Luedicke, Managing Director of Chemring Technology Solutions, said: "On operations there is usually little time available for EOD operators to dispose of IEDs. Breach MC gives them flexible options and will deliver to the Canadian Armed Forces a new system that is quick, convenient and safe, supporting them to achieve their mission more effectively."
