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. -

The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations
The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Daniel Duffty, Class of 2010 __________________________ Audra Sosny, Class of 2010 __________________________ Date: May 5, 2009 Approved: Professor David Brown, IQP Advisor Abstract The project focused on the current and predicted impact of robots on surveillance, reconnaissance, automated defense, and bomb disposal operations. It investigated existing products and technologies to create a representation of society’s present opinions. The project considered technological, legal, and ethical concerns affecting the advancement of military robotics. It anticipates future developments by analyzing opinions from interviews and data from a survey. The project concluded that society endorses the evolution of robotics not involving lethal force that benefits the military. ii Executive Summary This project, entitled The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations, studies the current and predicted impact of robots on surveillance, reconnaissance, automated defense, and bomb disposal operations. The project group, Daniel Duffty and Audra Sosny, investigated what robotic technologies are available, how the military presently uses robots, what society thinks about military robots, and what the future of military robots may hold. The use of robotics throughout all facets of society is rapidly increasing. As an emerging field with few developmental restrictions, society’s reaction to and support of robotics varies greatly. The problem is that society supports the military using robots for some purposes, but not all. Another problem is that society supports robots with certain capabilities, but not all. -

TR-114 Fire Department Response to Biological Threat at B'nai B'rith
U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Fire Department Response to Biological Threat at B’nai B’rith Headquarters Washington, DC USFA-TR-114/April 1997 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting. -
Improvised Explosive Devices (Ieds) in Iraq: Effects and Countermeasures
Order Code RS22330 February 10, 2006 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Iraq: Effects and Countermeasures Clay Wilson Specialist in Technology and National Security Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many of the more than 2,000 deaths and numerous casualties suffered by U.S. and coalition forces since the invasion of Iraq.1 The bombs have been hidden behind signs and guardrails, under roadside debris, or inside animal carcasses, and encounters with IEDs are becoming more numerous and deadly. The threat has expanded to include vehicle-borne IEDs, where insurgents drive cars laden with explosives directly into a targeted group of service members. DOD efforts to counter IEDs have proven only marginally effective, and U.S. forces continue to be exposed to the threat at military checkpoints, or whenever riding in vehicles in Iraq. DOD reportedly expects that mines and IEDs will continue to be weapons of choice for insurgents for the near term in Iraq, and is also concerned that they might eventually become more widely used by other insurgents and terrorists worldwide. This report will be updated as events warrant. Background Improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, now cause about half of all the American combat casualties in Iraq, both killed-in-action and wounded.2 The Iraqi insurgents make videos of exploding U.S. vehicles and dead Americans and distribute them via the Internet to win new supporters. Outside Iraq, foreign radicals see the images as confirmation that the Americans are vulnerable. -

American Explosive Ordnance Disposal History
AMERICAN EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL HISTORY Prologue The Beginning Early Years EOD Training Korea to South Vietnam Women in EOD EOD Today PROLOGUE The modern history of disarming bombs began more than 65 years before the British mine and bomb disposal units established the formal profession in World War II we know today as Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Colonel Sir Vivian Dering Majendie, Queen Victoria’s chief inspector of explosives, is recognized as one of the first bomb disposal experts, a term frowned on by today’s technicians. He pioneered many techniques and defused a clockwork-fused bomb at London’s Victoria Station in 1884. In the first World War, the Germans advanced their development of fuzes, including a delayed-action fuze. A more sophisticated version was first tested in the 1936-1937 Spanish Civil War and caused widespread terror in the civilian population. The Germans continued to improve it with their other fuze designs. World War II saw a rapid rise of quantity and sophistication of ordnance never seen in the history of warfare. We now needed professional bomb disposal technicians with the formal training and specialized tools to defeat them. THE BEGINNING On September 7, 1940, Germany began its air war on Britain with 300 bombers dropping 337 tons of bombs on London. Four hundred and forty-eight civilians were killed that afternoon and evening. The aerial bombing continued until May, 1941, but the terror of the bombing did not stop. The Luftwaffe left unexploded bombs, known as UXB, all over London. Some simply failed to detonate, but others had the time-delay fuzes and to continue the terror long after the bombers were gone.
