Aquaterro Australia announces expansion into weapon light, explosive ordnance disposal solutions

“Held in high regard amongst law enforcement, military and civilian tactical sectors, Modlite’s partnership with Aquaterro will deliver premium tactical illumination solutions to Australian operators,” Aquaterro Australia founder and chief executive officer Graeme Bulte said.

“All systems are designed with modularity in mind, with components integrating onto industry standard rails and mounts, enabling end users to configure lighting systems tailored to specific platforms and mission requirements … Modlite’s product range will soon be available for purchase on Aquaterro’s ecommerce store, BroadArrowTactical.com.au.

In a separate plan, Aquaterro has announced last month that it will be expanding specialist capabilities to introduce a range of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and counter-improvised explosive device (IED) mine disposal solutions through a number of strategic partnerships.

The company has broadened its offering to include industry leading high-risk search, CIED and EOD capabilities, supported by subject matter experts aligned to and supporting the capabilities, according to Bulte.

“The expansion enables us to deliver next-generation bomb disposal suits offering enhanced protection, comfort and mobility; disruptors, neutralising kits and defusing kits for every operational environment; tactical and long-range initiation systems (surface and subsurface) with increased EM immunity; maritime mine disposal; and training aids, portable X-ray detection systems integrated with proprietary AI software.

“With these capabilities in place, Aquaterro is better equipped than ever to deliver, support and sustain mission-critical capabilities for those operating in complex and high-risk environments.”
