NOVO DR is the leading manufacturer of Portable, Digital Radiography X-ray Inspection Systems for EOD's, IED's, Special Forces and NDT Applications

But terrorists, criminals, extortionists and anti-social elements extensively use their own types of homemade bombs, called “Improvised Explosive Devices” or “IEDs”. As an X-ray screener you must look out for any suspicious item – and not just obviously suspicious items like guns or knives, but also anything that could be an IED.

At the very core, all security personnel should recognize the PIES components of an IED, how they work together, and how to analyze X-rays. This critical knowledge can be applied at the checkpoint to prevent a terror attack.

Such IEDs are particularly difficult to detect: while industrially-produced explosives are stable and require a detonator, many IEDs with unstable explosives can be initiated without a detonator – e.g. by an open fire from a lighter. Lack of detonator makes detection of such IEDs by their X-ray images very difficult.

2018年10月1日 · Screeners visually inspect X-ray images of cabin baggage for prohibited items such as guns, knives, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as well as other items such as self-defence gas sprays or Tasers (Schwaninger, 2005).

This guide is designed to assist the student with X-ray interpretation. It includes the identification of various Improvised Explosive Device (IED) components, such as batteries, initiators, explosives, and switches. It also includes the identification of prohibited items, such as knives, guns, cameras, cell phones, and liquids.

6 天之前 · The course is an advanced level x-ray interpretation course that is designed to teach EOD/Bomb techs how to identify IED components in a portable x-ray image. The course will also focus on x-ray interpretation on packages and bags with clutter vs an IED in a package with no clutter and the IED components are easy to identify.

DSA also manufactures X-ray correct inert explosive simulants, IED training aids, and test articles used in training screeners to identify threats and to verify security checkpoint equipment is properly identifying threats.

Abstract — This paper presents a method to detect an improvised explosive device (IED) by using infrared thermography (IRT) technology. The detection of IED will be done automatically and accurately even the IED detection expert is not present.

We carry various simulated IEDs that are detectable in X-ray systems that are perfect for IED training included time delay, suicide, and command detonated devices.
