Underwater Explosive Ordnance Disposal System
As a result of conditions in the world today, increasing demand to respond to crisis situations has led Inflatable Technology Corporation to introduce the "Mark V Underwater Explosive Ordnance Disposal System." The Mark V system is the result of a culmination of more than 20 years of designing and manufacturing underwater flotation and is currently in use by navies worldwide.
This self-contained system is specifically designed for the removal of underwater mines, weapons, or explosives
The Mark V System can be deployed by a single diver from a remote location, such as an inflatable boat, and is designed to operate to full lift capacity to a depth of 175' with the standard air source.
The Mark V System includes:
-
A 2200 lb. enclosed pontoon manufactured of heavy-duty yellow 40 oz. urethane-coated nylon fabric for high abrasion resistance and fuel resistance
-
2-80 cu. ft. aluminum or optional lightweight 87 cu. ft. fiber-wrapped cylinders
-
Pressure relief valves
-
Inflation manifold
-
Tank harness
-
Electric actuation valve
-
Surface command unit
Other options include:
-
Carrying bag
-
Rigid storage box with carrying handles
-
Time delay actuator o Acoustic actuation
-
Spare pads
-

The Mark V System meets the non-magnetic MIL specification MIL-M- 19595. (Also available in a magnetic version)
The Mark V Underwater Explosive Ordnance Disposal System replaces the obsolete U.S. Navy Mark 11 Mod I Flotation Bladder (NSN #8465-00-992-6689) of which SUBSALVE has delivered over 200 units over the last decade.
The new Mark V System is an improved commercial version employing state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing technologies and is currently in use by navies worldwide.
