The SHAP anti IED range
The SHAP product range comprises a number of innovative devices. All have their own specific uses and are adapted to different situations: neutralizing suspicious packages in a building or vehicle, perforating gas cylinders or fire extinguishers suspected of containing an IED, opening metal doors containing a potential threat...

Explosive charge: from 12 to 20g per SHAP case
Use: indoors, confined spaces, built-up areas.
Neutralizing devices: anti-IED disruptors
Our anti-IED disruptors act as neutralizers. They work with a limited quantity of explosives and water: the explosive releases the water charge which neutralizes the IED thanks to powerful pressure. Designed with meticulous precision, they can eliminate any threat, from booby-trapped parcels to gas canisters and metal door openings. As a specialist defense contractor, our devices are specially designed to neutralize IEDs in complete safety, reducing the risk to human life on both the defensive and civilian sides.
Already in service in France and abroad, SHAP is designed for two uses:
- dismantling Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) ;
- training mine-clearance teams.
SHAP products are delivered inert, so they can be easily transported and stored without any special arrangements.
In a constantly evolving sector, DEMGY has positioned itself as a trusted partner for defense and security forces worldwide. Our unwavering commitment to research and development enables us to anticipate future needs and offer solutions tailored to the challenges of the defense industry.
The history of the SHAP device
The SHAP device was invented by Dominique Saunier, a Gendarme and professional security soldier, who has been a mine-clearing instructor since 1970. The idea for SHAP came to him while he was assigned to the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Task Force.
This activity led Dominique Saunier to use a "Beaulon water cannon" to neutralize explosive devices. Noting the limitations and disadvantages of this system used by the Direction Générale de l'Armement (intense noise, unsuitable for neutralizing large containers, flames and smoke making it impossible to use in confined spaces), Dominique Saunier came up with the SHAP system.
In 2009, Dominique Saunier joined forces with :
Jean-Luc Fouco, engineer and CEO of the plasturgy company Plastoniva, to create the injection molds for SHAP's component parts;
Vincent Truong, engineer at Brulon's injection unit, to create the SHAP models, organize tests and develop the first sales of the device.
In 2010, a patent was filed with INPI.
Plastinova, holder of the SHAP patent, is acquired by the Effiplast plastics group, which continues to produce and sell 4 SHAP models until 2019. All tooling, component inventories and technical documentation are consolidated at Berrod in Meussia, Jura, and more recently at Coutty in Oyonnax.
In 2023, DEMGY Group acquires the patent - valid until 2030 - and all tooling for the SHAP device.
