Universal Safety Response's E.R.C.,™ Evidence Recovery and Containment System, is the company's innovative response to military and law enforcement agencies who have identified a significant shortcoming in the equipment available to their Bomb Explosive Ordnance Disposal Units. The E.R.C.™ is a lightweight ballistic enclosure that contains the hazardous debris and critical evidence generated when a PAN (Percussion Actuated Non-electric) disruptor is employed to safely disable, destroy or defuse explosive devices.

The E.R.C.™ requires no tools to assemble and can take less than one minute to deploy. Its lightweight frame, made from ballistic material, creates a structure strong enough to withstand repeated impacts from water shots or AVON rounds - yet at under 50 pounds total weight it can be lifted and placed over explosive devices by almost any robot. Snap-on handles allow bomb technicians to place the unit manually when the scenario allows.

Easily deployable, the E.R.C.™ breaks down into eight components without the use of tools or fasteners. All parts are color-coded for easy assembly in low-light conditions or for technicians under significant stress. An adjustable opening at the front of the system allows the disruptor to be aimed directly at the explosive device regardless of the available angle, yet minimize the dispersal of evidence.

FEATURES

• Additional ballistic panels can be added to contain aluminum slugs traveling at   extremely high velocities
• Omni-directional grip lifting block for robot deployment
• Side panels can be reinforced with ballistic panels for off-axis shots
• Detachable lift and carry handles

BENEFITS

• Debris field reduced from over 300 feet to less than five feet
• Evidence containment also prevents contamination of surrounding environment
• Prevents damage to property by containing high-velocity debris
• Significantly reduces risk of injury to bystanders
