GCU Highlights
The GCU can reduce the UN Hazard Classification and compatibility group of certain munitions to 1.2F to 1.4S. It improves personnel safety when storing and transporting grenades in a ready state. The unit is suitable for the military and the police, and is used by the French Grenarmerie.
The GCU is a steel fabricated cubic box with perforated steel sides and sliding doors. The draw is secured into the outer cubic box with a lanyard and pin.
The unit does not rely on any electronic, pneumatic or hydraulic components, and hence maintains its function with only basic maintenance and training.
The units are supplied in two formats, F1 and F4, originating from the type of hand grenade stored.
Two units are fitted to a trolley to enable easier movement.
The standard units have an array of 20 (4x5) chambers.
A carousel which holds 4 sample vials can be supplied for each of the chambers in a F4 drawer.
