Ready Containment’s lightweight containment bladders are ideal for both civilian and military UAVs, providing a convenient and flexible method of carrying fuel and other liquids without taking up excessive space or payload capacity. The ability to expand and contract with the liquid level enables them to fit optimally into tight geometries within the fuselage and make efficient use of the space available. When not in use, the tanks can be folded or collapsed into a compact size.

The company manufactures bladders from a variety of durable materials, ranging from lightweight fabrics that weigh just 7 ounces per square yard to heavy-duty Kevlar-coated fabrics. These solutions can be designed as ventless collapsing diaphragms or vented non-collapsing liners, and are equipped with airtight and leak-proof seals that prevent liquid from spilling during transport or flight. Each product is designed to be as durable as possible to withstand the rigors of complex UAV operations, with resistance against punctures, UV radiation, and various chemicals.

UAV bladder tanks can be seamlessly integrated into a variety of airframes and are designed for rapid filling and emptying to minimize downtime. They are ideal for enhancing the operational capabilities of unmanned aircraft in a wide range of applications.

Ready Containment is also highly experienced in developing subsea bladders for the unique demands of AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and ROV (remotely operated vehicle) applications. Custom solutions can be manufactured from high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials such as reinforced rubber or flexible polymers, and can be designed to withstand depths of over 5000 feet.

The highly flexible tanks can conform to a wide range of spaces and geometries, making them ideal for integration into platforms where rigid storage solutions may not be suitable. They can be designed to withstand pressure, impact, extremes of temperature, and exposure to saltwater and chemicals over long periods of time.

Ready Containment’s underwater bladder tanks are engineered to meet industry standards for marine operations, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with relevant regulations. All units undergo rigorous pressure-testing to ensure flawless performance and longevity in the field.
