DRDO develops Door Breaching Device for security personnel

Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has developed Door Breaching Device that can be used from a distance of 100 metres for rapid entry.

Developed by DRDO’s Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory (TBRL), the device is capable of breaching various kinds of doors like thick metal door and thick wooden doors by remote action, TBRL’s Chandigarh-based scientist Yogeshwar Nath, who was also part of the developers’ team was quoted as saying by Deccan Chronicle Tuesday.

Security personnel would soon get the device that assists them to break into a house and neutralize the armed terrorists.

“This device is ready for production and it is yet to be inducted into the security forces. We have conducted demonstration trials for Indian Army, DG Infantry, National Security Guards, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, CISF and Punjab police,” he said.

“Door-breaching is an important activity in low- intensity conflict operations as it provides rapid entry through the locked or barricades structures.” Security experts said.

In the present system, the flexible linear shape charge is being used. In this system, we have used exploding bridge wire detonator to initiate the charge assembly. The system uses a specially designed wireless firing system to provide required excitation power. Wireless trigger can initiate the firing unit remotely.

“There will be minimum collateral damage and there is no primary explosive involved in complete system,” said Mr Nath.

In Tehran Hashish addicts can breech steel doors with no time, Should we announce it as a major development

That is an interesting concept. Good that it would limit collateral damage particularly in hostage situations

But I am not sure how effective it would be against steel plated and dual doors that of course will require a much higher energy flow to dismantle and that too at a distance of 100 m. From what little I know I think it would be more dangerous for the operators as well since laying of wires to the door would expose the operator to risks from the inhabitants of the hostile house

More details required please to understand the concept a bit further
