Ready Containment is a leading manufacturer of flexible bladder tanks for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles). Our lightweight solutions are manufactured with the most advanced equipment, materials and processes available, resulting in highly durable products that can be custom-engineered to suit the unique geometries and mission requirements of your unmanned vehicle platforms.
We are an ISO 9001-2015 certified manufacturer, and are committed to ensuring the utmost in excellence. All products are quality-certified before shipping and can be provided with certificates of conformance upon request.
Custom UAV & Drone Fuel Bladders
Our 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.
We manufacture our 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. They 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.
We design each product to be as durable as possible to withstand the rigors of complex UAV operations, with resistance against punctures, UV radiation, and various chemicals.
Our 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, including:
- Aircraft Refueling – transportation and storage of aviation fuels such as gasoline or jet fuel for refuelling in remote areas where regular infrastructure may be lacking
- Precision Agriculture – equipping UAVs with the ability to carry and deploy pesticides, fertilizers, or water for targeted crop management
- Firefighting – UAVs equipped with water or fire retardant sprays can be used to combat fires without putting personnel at risk or deploying costly helicopters and manned aircraft
- Environmental Monitoring – transportation of liquid samples from remote or hazardous environments for further analysis, as well as decontaminants for environmental cleanup
- Disaster Response & SAR – UAV bladder tanks can be used to transport essential liquids such as medical fluids and potable water during search and rescue operations, humanitarian crises, or post-disaster response
- Surveillance & Security – dispensing of specialized liquids for applications such as marking intruders or non-lethal deterrent
- Film & Media Production – precise and controlled delivery of fluids required for special effects

Custom Subsea ROV & AUV Bladders
We are highly experienced in developing subsea bladders for the unique demands of AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and ROV (remotely operated vehicle) applications. We can design custom solutions manufactured from high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials such as reinforced rubber or flexible polymers that can 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.
Our 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.
UUV, ROV and AUV applications for our subsea bladders include:
- Buoyancy Control – adjusting underwater vehicle buoyancy in order to to ascend, descend, or maintain position
- Offshore Energy – storage and transportation of fluids and chemicals required for offshore oil and gas exploration and production
- Environmental Monitoring & Marine Conservation – acquisition of water and liquid samples, and dispersion of chemicals for oil spill cleanup or control of invasive species.
- Aquaculture & Fisheries – ROVs and AUVs equipped with our bladder tanks are ideal for transporting feed, medications, or other liquids required for cultivation and maintenance of fish stocks and marine life
- Naval & Military – UUVs can be used to transport fuel for submarine refueling and well as liquids for various underwater maintenance tasks
