NICO BTV-1 flash-bang grenade

The NICO BTV-1 is an American flash-bang grenade.

It is designed to deny access into/out of an area to individuals, move individuals through an area, and suppress individuals.

It is a hand-thrown interim replacement for the MK-141 flash-bang grenade based on an urgent needs statement. It is intended to prevent serious injury to personnel in the event of premature detonation of the grenade, provide 3–5 seconds of flash blindness, a lower pressure to reduce blast injury risk, and hand-safe capability with metal body and top and bottom venting.[1]
