摘要

The present invention relates to a hot-wire detonator emulator that has the capability of monitoring switching in a simulated, mock, or inert improvised explosive device (IED) powered by direct current. One purpose of the inventive emulator is to function as an energetic witness substitute by replacing the detonator in an actual IED, thus enabling bomb technicians to conduct bench top and field analyses of IEDs, and to assess the effectiveness of render-safe procedures by, for example, illustrating how a detonator would react in a render-safe procedure.

主权项

1. A system for simulated explosives training, comprising: a simulated, mock, or inert explosive device without an initiator; at least one sensor connected to said simulated, mock, or inert explosive device, the sensor outputting a signal corresponding to a measurable parameter sensed by the sensor; a controller interfacing with said sensor; a feedback device interfacing with said controller, wherein the feedback device is actuated in response to the signal achieving a pre-determined threshold; and a display for displaying a representation of said signal, wherein the representation of said signal is displayed in real time;
wherein the sensor comprises a simulated initiator.
