Current Threats

Drug-Running Mini-Subs and Semi Submersibles

A drug smuggling semi-submersible captured in Colombia last summer.

Latin American drug smugglers are stepping up their use of small, hand-made mini-subs in order to avoid U.S. military patrols in the eastern Pacific.

Between 2001-2007 alone, the US Coast Guard detected 23 mini-subs. This number has "ballooned."

M.E.A. - Multi Environment Ammunition™

Enhancing capabilities of 7.62mm, 12.7mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm applications, with standard weapons

Delivers greatly increased range, improved stopping power, penetration and multi-environment capabilities without modification to existing

weaponry

The Most Effective Solution for Self Defence

• In water at speed >100m/s (328ft/s; 109yd/s) the core forms a cavity that is optimally designed to exceed the size of the projectile

• Water resistance in the cavity acts solely on the leading edge

• Stabilization is achieved through contact with the cavity by rear of the projectile

• The cavity collapses when speed of the projectile reduces to approx 100m/s (≈328ft/s; 109yd/s)

• DSGT’s patented supercavitating projectile design enables air/water capabilities, but also gives reduced drag in air, with extended range, increased stopping power, and material penetration

Supercavitation

Core Cavity outline

Benefits OF MEA• Supercavitating MEA rounds are able to enter from the air into the

water while maintaining their destructive power. – MEA rounds enter or leave water at very low angles (> 2 degrees)– MEA rounds enter the water without danger of ricocheting, even when multiple air/water/air

entries are involved (i.e. passing through waves) – MEA rounds:

- Are stable in air and water- Are spin-stabilized in air, and cavity-stabilized in water- Are capable of penetrating steel targets underwater up to 60m for 12.7mm

• MEA bullets can penetrate water, sand and mud (wet or dry)– bullet profile enables highly effective penetration of difficult materials– including dry or wet sand or mud. Bullet remains intact & effective.

• Firing such rounds from existing shipboard guns offers a highly effective and cost-efficient hard-kill defense.

• MEA can effectively engage close-in targets

MEA can destroy Speed Boats using .50 cal or M240- above and below water line

Passing through waves

5.56 = 10m under water

Will enter water without ricocheting at low angles through multiple air/water/air interfaces (i.e. passing through waves)

Detecting Mines at Sea Using Blue/Green Lasers

• Enhanced Effect of the ‘super’ Cavity:

– Near misses are still effective- destructive effect of collapsing cavity even with 300mm near misses

– Cavity persists in water (more than 30metres for 30mm)- increases chances of affecting target

Additional Supercavitation Benefits

for ship defence• Air/Water and Material Penetration performance fill current naval capability gaps• Enhances capabilities of standard weapons on helicopters, surface vessels, patrol

boats• Effective ammo for Surface swarming threats• Effective ammo for Semi-submersible and submerged threats –defensible from

helicopters and boats. • Mine counter measures, using 12.7mm to depths of 40-60metres• Exceptional material penetration: including, ground, soil, mud, sand, armour –

and water• Extended capabilities for any weapon used or carried over water, on any platform• Just change the ammo!!!!
