MK 2 MOD 0 Flotation Bladder
The MK 2 MOD 0 Flotation
Bladder is a nylon-covered inflatable rubber sphere having a diameter of four feet when
fully inflated, and used to raise underwater objects (mines, etc.) off the bottom. The
bladder is inflated remotely by two attached SCUBA cylinders through an electrically
initiated underwater actuated explosive device.The Explosive Actuated Valve is a closed, electrically initiated,
squib activated, control valve.
The Remote Cable Connector allows
the EOD diver to pull the MK 2 MOD 0 Flotation Bladder underwater to the item to be
recovered and to fire an explosive release valve remotely, allowing the bladder to fill
with compressed air and rise to the surface.
