4 SABREX SABREX SABREX Variants SABREX incorporates the latest generation technologies available to explosive cutting charges. It uses explosive energy to produce a highly stable, precise and efficient linear shape charge cutting jet that will defeat a wide range of target materials. Description SABREX delivers benchmark reliability and performance, even when bent to fit complex target shapes or used underwater. It is the most highly developed explosive cutting tool on the market and provides the Demolitions Engineer, Breacher and EOD specialist with improved capability. SABREX embodies three novel technologies; the VECTORJET geometry, the DENSJET liner and the pressure and water excluding JETJACKET. These technologies are protected by international patent filings and trademark registrations. SABREX is manufactured by Chemring Energetics UK Ltd. under an exclusive world wide licence from Jet Physics Ltd. It is available as a family of six natures specifically selected to match the most commonly occurring target sizes. 4
