Ready Containment stands at teh forefront of manufacturing flexible bladder tanks tailored for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles). Our lightweight solutions are crafted using cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and advanced manufacturing processes, resulting in robust products that can be customized to meet the specific geometries and mission needs of your unmanned vehicle systems.
As an ISO 9001-2015 certified manufacturer, we prioritize excellence in every aspect of our production. Each product undergoes rigorous quality checks before dispatch, and we can provide certificates of conformance upon request.
Tailored Fuel Bladders for UAVs & Drones
Our lightweight bladder tanks are perfect for both civilian and military UAV applications, offering a versatile and space-efficient solution for transporting fuel and other liquids. Their ability to expand and contract with liquid levels allows for optimal fitting within the fuselage, maximizing available space. When not in use, these tanks can be easily folded or collapsed into a compact form.
Our bladders are constructed from a range of durable materials, from lightweight fabrics weighing as little as 7 ounces per square yard to robust Kevlar-coated options. They can be designed as ventless collapsing diaphragms or vented non-collapsing liners, featuring airtight and leak-proof seals to prevent spills during transport or flight.
Each product is engineered for maximum durability,capable of withstanding the challenges of complex UAV operations,including resistance to punctures,UV exposure,and various chemicals.
Our UAV bladder tanks can be effortlessly integrated into various airframes and are designed for quick filling and emptying, reducing downtime. They significantly enhance the operational capabilities of unmanned aircraft across diverse applications, including:
- Aircraft Refueling – transporting and storing aviation fuels like gasoline or jet fuel for refueling in remote locations lacking standard infrastructure.
- Precision Agriculture – enabling UAVs to carry and deploy pesticides, fertilizers, or water for targeted crop management.
- Firefighting – UAVs equipped with water or fire retardants can combat fires without risking personnel or deploying expensive helicopters.
- environmental Monitoring – transporting liquid samples from remote or hazardous areas for analysis, as well as decontaminants for environmental cleanup.
- Disaster Response & SAR – bladder tanks can transport essential liquids like medical fluids and potable water during search and rescue missions, humanitarian efforts, or post-disaster recovery.
- Surveillance & Security – dispensing specialized liquids for applications such as marking intruders or non-lethal deterrents.
- Film & Media Production – precise and controlled delivery of fluids necessary for special effects.

Custom Bladders for Subsea ROV & AUV Applications
We specialize in creating subsea bladders tailored to the specific needs of AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and ROV (remotely operated vehicle) applications. Our designs utilize high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as reinforced rubber or flexible polymers, capable of withstanding depths exceeding 5000 feet.
These highly adaptable tanks can fit into various spaces and shapes, making them perfect for integration into platforms where rigid storage options may not be feasible. They are engineered to endure pressure, impact, extreme temperatures, and prolonged exposure to saltwater and chemicals.
Our underwater bladder tanks are designed to comply with industry standards for marine operations,ensuring safety,reliability,and adherence to relevant regulations. Each unit undergoes thorough pressure testing to guarantee optimal performance and durability in the field.
Applications for our subsea bladders in UUV, ROV, and AUV contexts include:
- Buoyancy Control – managing the buoyancy of underwater vehicles to ascend, descend, or maintain position.
- Offshore Energy – storage and transport of fluids and chemicals necessary for offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
- Environmental Monitoring & Marine Conservation – collecting water and liquid samples,and dispersing chemicals for oil spill remediation or controlling invasive species.
- Aquaculture & Fisheries – ROVs and AUVs equipped with our bladder tanks are ideal for transporting feed, medications, or other liquids essential for the cultivation and maintenance of fish stocks and marine life.
- Naval & Military – UUVs can transport fuel for submarine refueling and liquids for various underwater maintenance tasks.
