Abstract
A recoil managed disruptor includes a disruptor device having a barrel from which a slug of material is fired. A piston is mechanically coupled to the disruptor device. A housing which supports the disruptor on a positioning device includes a deformable recoil absorber (DRA) constraint. The DRA constraint is configured to receive a sacrificial DRA structure comprised of a semi-rigid material. The piston is responsive to a recoil force produced when the disruptor device is fired to travel along an axial length of the housing and permanently deform the DRA structure within the DRA constraint.
