Warrior Expo – Zero Point

Thursday, July 11th, 2013

The Modular Charge System (MCS) has been designed and developed through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Zero Point & NAVEODTECHDIV.

-A suite of equipment condenses the explosive capabilities available from multiple explosives and explosive tools into one device which allows the user to quickly employ multiple charge types.
-This may allow the replacement of several of the pre-packed explosive charges, such as the Mk-23/24, (MK 89/87/45/ MK 1/2/3 ).
-The MCS can be configured to use Conical and Linear Shaped Charges, Hemispherical, Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFPs), Explosively Driven Flyer Plates, Steel Shot EFP / Flyers, Contact Charges, Strip Charges, MCD/LIDD replacement.
-In addition several different types of liners and materials can be used, Copper, Magnesium, Zirconium, Aluminum, Liners; 60/75/90 degree/Flat/EFP & Hemi liners.

-Offers an bbvious EOD application against a variety of ordnance/IED threats.
-Breacher applications include easily configurable satellite and slider charges.
-Safety Certification not required due to user packed explosives.
-Fielding expected later this year.

Warrior West – Kopis Mobile

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

There are lots of metal detectors but none of them do TacEx does. In addition to a metal detector it also contains a magnetometer to help find emitters such as bugs. But the real exciting part is the data collection component which reports data to a small communications decide via Bluetooth. Kopis Mobile sees the TacEx really shining for site exploitation, village stability operations and entry control points. Naturally, the TacEx can also be used for route clearance.

It collects data via Android or iOS creating an event log which offers real time position location data, live streaming video and stills. It can also be used to probe bags and shipments. Additionally, the TacEx facilitates standoff sensing of individuals and items on interest. It’s also fully ambidextrous and runs for 4-6 hours on 6 x CR123A batteries.

Additionally, tracking software allows you to determine how and where the TacEx is being used which allows maintenance tracking.

The EOD Warrior Foundation Logo

Friday, March 1st, 2013

The newly formed EOD Warrior Foundation‘s logo is composed of four key elements:

Bomb: Inspired by the World War II Bomb Disposal Badge, the bomb represents the historic and major objective of the EOD attack: the unexploded bomb. The three fins represent the major threats areas: conventional bombs, weapons of mass destruc- tion (WMDs), and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The separation of the bomb represents the EOD mission to render the bomb safe and the Foundation’s goal to disarm challenges.

Lightning Bolt: The lightning bolt symbolizes the potential destructive power of the bomb, along with the courage, power and strength of the entire EOD family.

Shield: The shield in the nose of the bomb signifies the EOD mission to protect lives and property, and the Foundation’s commitment to protect our EOD families in the most vulnerable of times.

Heart: The heart represents the compassion and ongoing care and support the Foundation provides to EOD families. The heart is located in the tail of the bomb to reflect how compassion and support steer the Foundation’s efforts; much like the tail fin directs a bomb. The heart is also symbolic of the Purple Heart awarded to EOD warriors killed and wounded in action in service to our country.

EOD Warrior Foundation Announced

Friday, March 1st, 2013

The EOD Memorial Foundation and the Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation have merged to form the new EOD Warrior Foundation to support the EOD community. The EOD Warrior Foundation honors fallen EOD warriors and provides assistance to wounded EOD warriors and the families of wounded and fallen EOD personnel.

“The joining together of these organizations that are so committed to supporting the EOD community will help ensure that we can honor and serve our nation’s EOD warriors, as well as the family members of our wounded and fallen warriors who all placed themselves in harm’s way to ensure our freedom,” said Ken Falke, chairman of the EOD Warrior Foundation and a retired U.S. Navy EOD Technician. “We are proud to serve these individuals, and we are confident that by combining the resources of these two outstanding organizations, we will be able to grow, evolve and increase our overall capacity to support what we like to call the EOD family.”

The Foundation’s mission is to support the EOD community by providing financial assistance and support to wounded, injured and ill EOD warriors as well as to the families of wounded and fallen EOD technicians and to maintain the EOD Memorial Wall in honor of fallen EOD heroes. The Foundation’s assistance includes grant awards, scholarships and additional supports such as morale-boosting events, peer-to-peer support and educational programs. The EOD Memorial Wall is located at the Eglin Air Force Base, in Eglin, FL and carries the names of EOD technicians who have been killed in the line of duty since War World II.

“The EOD community is supported by a network of EOD family and friends dedicated to honoring and caring for our EOD warriors and their families,” said Nicole Motsek, executive director of the EOD Warrior Foundation. “The EOD Warrior Foundation is very grateful to the many volunteers and individuals whose contributions make it possible for us to honor our fallen EOD warriors and serve EOD families throughout the country.”

The EOD Warrior Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which is supported by donations and fundraising events held throughout the year by volunteers.

AUSA – Cardinal Scientific

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Commercially known as RAIDS (Rifle Actuated IED Defeat System), this rifle launched line is used to clear lanes of IEDs. You might think of it as a launchable grappling hook and can be used to pull trip wires or even det cord. The Army recently awarded Cardinal Scientific a 2 year IDIQ for the system under the unlikely moniker DIED (Dismounted Improvised Explosive Device). Despite the name it’s a simple, yet effective bullet trap device.

Previous devices only accepted M193 Ball but RAIDS accepts up to M855A1. It does this through the use of a removable trap and the system comes with 10 of these traps. Additionally, it uses 550cord for the line as it is readily available in the supply system and has little to no stretch.

RAIDS is quickly configurable and includes several replaceable tines made from stainless still and nylon for use on different terrain.
