PRESS RELEASE Job No. PR062/16 Issue Date: July 2017 Morgan Advanced Materials enhances bomb suit capability with specialist Silverback® CBRN Visor A specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) helmet visor has been launched by Morgan Advanced Materials, which integrates with its cutting edge Silverback® 4020 Elite bomb suit. This has been made available in response to increased demand for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protective garments. Designed as an additional option for Morgan’s acclaimed Silverback® 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit, the Silverback CBRN visor allows for the seamless integration of in-service CBRN masks. Featuring a wider surface area to accommodate the wearing of a CBRN facemask and respiration equipment, the visor delivers a range of benefits including powerful demisting technology and a wide field of vision for optimal situational awareness, helping to maximise the safety of the wearer. The latest innovation is the outcome of more than a year of research and development, and has undergone extensive blast testing to ensure full protection for the wearer. The unique design of the Silverback CBRN visor allows for seamless integration with leading in- service CBRN facemasks and protective undergarments. Designed to ensure full compatibility as a complete CBRN garment system, the Silverback 4020 Elite features Modular Lightweight Load- carrying Equipment (MOLLE) attachments on the rear of suit jacket which allow for air purification and respiratory systems and other critical accessories to be attached. Chris Davies, Technical Director at the Composites and Defence Systems business of Morgan Advanced Materials, explained: “The launch of our Silverback CBRN visor represents a significant www.morganadvancedmaterials.com PRESS RELEASE technological breakthrough and step change in the application of our bomb suits. We are proud to have developed an EOD suit solution, which is compatible with most in-service CBRN garments to protect EOD teams from an array of threats.” The Silverback CBRN visor is available to buy with the Silverback 4020 Elite bomb suit, or as a standalone purchase for existing Silverback 4020 Elite customers who wish to upgrade to a CBRN protective solution.

Press Release
PRESS RELEASE Issue Date: January 2017 Morgan Advanced Materials demonstrates extensive blast survivability for Silverback 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit A new video released by Morgan Advanced Materials showcases the outstanding performance of its Silverback 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit against four life impacting aspects of blast; flame immersion, high velocity fragment impact, blast pressure wave and ‘tertiary’ effects; across four different blast tests. Critical to survivability, the tests illustrate the importance Morgan places on reducing the impact of blast pressure waves, which alongside flame and fragments, have devastating impact on internal organs without adequate protection. The testing was conducted at the independently certified OTS testing facility at Faldingworth (UK) and utilised a range of testing best practice, including key aspects of the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard, in addition to other blast analysis including the Bowen Survivability Curve and overpressure reduction. The first blast test shown on the video demonstrates the suit’s survivability when kneeling, measured against the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard for an explosive of 0.567kg C4 threat at 0.6m. The recorded footage reveals that the suit provides a pressure reduction between 96.9% and 99.7%, achieving a position on the Bowen Curve showing more than 99% survivability probability (in a controlled test environment). Three further blast tests assess the suit’s survivability when standing, facing a 1kg (2.20 lbs) C4 threat at 1m, a 2kg (4.41 lbs) C4 threat at 2m, and a 10kg (22.05 lbs) C4 threat at 3m. All three tests returned a www.morganadvancedmaterials.com PRESS RELEASE position on the Bowen Curve stating a survivability probability greater than 99% (in a controlled test environment), with a pressure reduction between 98.1% and 98.5% for 1kg and 10kg blasts.

United Nations Improvised Explosive Device Disposal Standards
Document Reference No. 2018.05 United Nations Improvised Explosive Device Disposal Standards May 2018 ___________________________________________________________________ United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) Email: [email protected] Website: www.unmas.org Scope The United Nations Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) Standards have been developed to fill a gap in the technical guidance required to respond to the expanding and increasingly complex problem of IEDs. IEDs impede humanitarian access as well as other UN operations and impact on civilians, United Nations personnel and clearance organizations. In all areas of its IED response, the United Nations requires a safe, cost-effective and coherent approach to IED disposal. The United Nations has a duty of care to ensure that those entrusted with the task of IED disposal have a competent and practical standard to reference to protect their own lives and ensure operational and cost effectiveness. The United Nations IEDD Standards are of a technical nature; they are for use by IED disposal operators and for the organizations and units that employ them under the auspices of the United Nations. For Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Units deployed in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, the IEDD Standards outline the competencies required by individuals to meet the collective unit requirements set forth in the United Nations EOD Unit Manual. For commercial and non-governmental organizations contracted by the United Nations, these Standards provide the basis for evaluation of the contractors Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for IED disposal operations where the context or mandate objective is not humanitarian. In today’s asymmetric environment, and the multi-dimensional nature of Mission activities, the United Nations must be prepared to respond safely and in a timely, cost- effective manner to IED threats before well-defined humanitarian space emerges.

United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military EOD Unit Manual
United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military EOD Unit Manual September 2017 Preface We are delighted to present the United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit Manual, an essential reference guide for Member States, commanders and staff deployed in peacekeeping operations and the United Nations Headquarters. Over the past seventy years, UN peacekeeping has evolved significantly in its complexity. Peacekeeping missions are deployed into environments that are hostile and unstable, which perilously have the missions confronting asymmetric conflicts and threats, including ad hoc military engagements with non-state armed groups over large swaths of territory. Despite these challenges, UN peacekeeping remains an irreplaceable tool for the international community to manage the multitude of complex crises that pose a threat to international peace and security. In order to meet the challenges posed by the complexity and scale of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Threats, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and the Department of Field Support (DFS); in collaboration with the seminal work of experts from Member States and UNMAS, have produced this manual to contribute towards successful achievement of the mission’s goals by providing guidance and recommendations on the employment of UN Military EOD Unit capabilities and functions. In the pursuit of peace, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Department of Field Support will continue to refine and update this manual ensuring its
