Many instructors try to explain to their students the inner workings of improvised explosive devices certain major components, and different types of military ordnance items. Charts and posters with multi-color cutaway images or photos are very helpful in this regard. Securesearch produces several posters and can custom design others to assist your training. We also produce well-illustrated technical publications and actual cutaways of IED components such as switches and other initiating devices, batteries, detonators, hand grenades, pipe bombs, etc. We also have available a wide variety of inert products and inert ieds.

Instructors will find these critical in x-ray imaging (identification and interpretation) training, where the layout of components and the construction within certain components help the bomb technician identify important items and gives clues to help defeat the IED. As new commercially manufactured components are always being used, and new techniques of improvisation are being developed by terrorists, this is a never-ending catch-up battle.
