Training for Today's Bomb Disposal Mission

The primary objective of this training course is to provide Hazardous Device Technicians with the knowledge, skills, and ability to select and perform a precision disruption. This capability will become increasingly more important as bomb technicians begin to encounter weapons of mass destruction employing a variety of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive hazardous materials.

Many of these devices will utilize frangible containers that will become damaged during traditional disruption techniques causing the inadvertent release of CBRNE materials. Failure to correctly interpret radiographs, select proper disruptor ammunition, and accurately attack the necessary target components will undoubtedly result in the accidental release of CBRNE materials.

Upon successful completion of this course all hazardous device technicians will have the ability to successful interrogate suspect CBRNE devices and perform a precision disruption preventing the release of hazardous materials and loss of life.
