Rescue & Breaching Systems

Find the right rescue and breaching equipment for your unit at TALOS Defense. Our rescue and breaching range serves the complete operational arc of tactical entry, maritime boarding, and rescue operations — built around three core specialist brands — Hydro-Noa professional breaching solutions, Wilcox tactical entry equipment, and Skylotec breaching, VBSS and casualty evacuation systems.

Hydro-Noa breaching solutions address the forced-entry requirement for tactical and rescue operations: hydraulic door breachers and door spreaders for high-pressure, signature-reduced forced entry through reinforced doors and barricades; pneumatic breaching systems for sustained-pressure entry operations; hydraulic ram and vehicle-barricade entry systems for urban tactical operations and vehicle-based barricade defeat; and manual mechanical entry tools including halligan bars, hooligan tools, pry bars, K-tools and battering rams for non-hydraulic entry scenarios.

Wilcox tactical entry equipment complements with breaching shotgun adapters and Universal Mount Adapter systems for ballistic-entry applications, tactical entry tool integration for combined breaching loadouts, and adapter and mounting hardware for integrating entry tools with operator loadouts.

Skylotec breaching, VBSS and casualty extraction systems cover three connected operational domains. For structural and tactical breaching: complementary mechanical breaching tools, manual entry equipment and rope-supported breaching configurations. For VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, Seizure) maritime boarding operations: boarding ladders in telescoping and rigid configurations for vessel boarding from RHIBs at sea, magnetic ladder mounts for attaching to steel ship hulls during boarding, hook-and-pole boarding systems for higher-freeboard vessel access, maritime-grade breaching tools in saltwater-resistant configurations for boarding-operation entry through ship doors and hatches, and TACTICAL-series VBSS-specific harnesses rated for both vessel-boarding and water-immersion scenarios. For casualty extraction and rope rescue: casualty evacuation harnesses and drag systems for extracting wounded operators from confined spaces, vehicles and structures; tactical rescue harnesses and rope-rescue systems; mechanical advantage rigging for vertical extraction and vehicle extrication; and fall protection and working-at-height systems adapted for tactical entry operations requiring operators at elevation.

The range serves operational profiles spanning forced entry through structures and vehicles, urban tactical entry operations, hostage rescue and high-risk warrant service, maritime boarding (VBSS) operations including anti-piracy, anti-smuggling, sanctions-enforcement and fisheries-enforcement interdictions, technical rope rescue and casualty extraction, search-and-rescue in collapsed and confined environments, and fire-service forcible entry and tactical extrication. This equipment is intended for trained professional operators and qualifying institutional buyers — purchase typically follows operational specification consultation rather than direct catalog selection.

As Greece's specialist defense supplier since 2010, with established institutional procurement relationships across the Hellenic Police, Hellenic Coast Guard and Hellenic armed forces, TALOS Defense serves Hellenic Police EKAM, Hellenic Coast Guard MYA / OEA (with significant VBSS operational requirements in Aegean maritime interdiction), Hellenic Navy ΟΥΚ, Hellenic Army special operations, fire services, search-and-rescue units, NATO-allied institutional buyers and verified security operations across Greece and the EU.
