(CID)
Command-Initiated Explosive Device Simulators (CID) add an unlimited number of scenarios to the Instructor's play-book. Here at ATT-Tactical, we utilize all options in our EDS Instructor Certification course. At left is a photo of 3 Command-Initiated ALSG272CI White Smoke Grenades dispensing from the underside of a standard automobile. As you can see by the picture, the car is completely obscured from view. Total time from initiation to this point is approximately 4 seconds. All 3 White Smoke Grenades were band-clamped to the vehicle's frame and wired in series so that they all fired simultaneously. The whole process was initiated wirelessly with our Single Shot Wireless Initiating Devices (WID) Wireless Controller and receiver set. The operator is the police officer sitting in the front seat of the subject car.
Command-Initiated Devices (CID) are suitable for pre-placement in surroundings where students can safely respond to the simulated threat. It could be explained that hostel entities intend to deploy a bio hazardous gas or powder via an unknown dispersion method. Upon arrival at the location, students can be instructed to secure the area during which, the CID can be initiated. Instructors can then gauge how well the students react and measures implemented post-event. Take alook at our Bomb Factory for Training Aid I.E.D.'s.
Possible locations for training scenarios are:
- Railroad stations, subway stations, airport terminals during off-hours.
- Municipal and governmental office buildings.
- Public parking structures.
- Sports stadiums.
- Public utilities facilities
The use of Command-Initiated Explosive Device Simulators, in particular the ALS09CI Diversionary Device as a simulator for a package bomb provides for the most realistic training available. By placing the Device inside a large cardboard box filled with foam packing peanuts and powdered sugar, and using our Single Shot Wireless Initiating Devices (WID) Wireless Controller and receiver set, a controlled simulated Improvised Explosive Device detonation can be achieved in a controlled environment.
The instructor who utilized this scenario had also placed a secondary device several feet from the first to replicate current deployment standards utilized by middle-eastern terrorist groups. By timing the firing of the second device to maximize the number of first-responder students afflict ted, and even greater simulated casualty rate results for subsequent arriving student officers.
Vehicle checkpoint training of students can be enhanced with an ALS09CI Diversionary Device secreted inside a 5 pound bag of brown confectioner's sugar and attached to a plywood board bolted to the underside of an operating vehicle. The assembly, attached opposite of all brake, gasoline and vehicle wiring, usually under the front floorboards, can be command-initiated by a driver upon entering the Vehicle Checkpoint Training Scenario.
These are just a few of the hundreds of ways that we use CIEDS in our realistic training.
