Past Performance - Technical Services

Event: Advanced IED Training
CLIENT: Utah County Sherriff's Office

SCOPE OF WORK: Utah County Sheriff's Office bomb technicians received training on the comprehensive capabilities of the Logos Imaging System with advanced radiography interpretation and Precision Targeting and Disruption Methodologies of Improvised Explosive Devices. We also provided an Advanced Electronics Training Course - this course was instrumental in assisting the bomb squad with a subsequent "real world" incident where a subject had placed various electronic circuits/systems within a building which was being searched. The bomb squad used wire diagnostic methods taught in the course to characterize the circuits/systems that were within a part of the building which was inaccessible by robot.

Event: Advanced IED Training
CLIENT: Portland Bomb Squad

SCOPE OF WORK: Our team provided training on Precision Targeting and Disruption Methodologies for Portland bomb technicians with realistic monitored and functioning training devices for advanced interrogation, RSP and mitigation when faced with a WMD. Portland bomb technicians were later given an opportunity to conduct an assessment of an unknown Radioactive Dispersal Device built by instructors to incorporate an extremely "hot" radioactive Iridium-192 source. This unique training opportunity to assess a "real world" RDD threat was coordinated with an industrial radiography company, which supplied the Iridium-192 source and shielded radiation vault in which the training was conducted. Bomb squad personnel used the opportunity to take x-rays of the RDD with various Iridium-192 exposure times in order to contrast and compare images taken with the Logos Digital Imaging System. The ultimate conclusion drawn from the training was that bomb technicians could use radiation detection meters to determine safe downrange times and whether it would be possible to use conventional x-ray equipment to capture images before film panels would be overexposed by radiation sources contained in an RDD.
