Explosive Ordnance Disposal/Explosive Operations (EOD/EXO)
Abstract
The EOD/EXO Subgroup’s objective is to deliver capabilities to defeat or neutralize the continuum of terrorist improvised weapons and explosive devices. EOD/EXO improves the operational capabilities of the bomb disposal and explosive operations community, consisting of military EOD, combat engineers, special operations forces, and federal, state, and local bomb squads, by developing and delivering advanced tools and technologies, and decision support information to defeat improvised terrorist devices. The EOD/EXO Subgroup identifies and prioritizes multi-agency end-user requirements in collaboration with military units, and federal, state, and local agencies. EOD/EXO actively works with vendors and end-users to deliver advanced prototype systems that provide greater efficiency and increased safety for Bomb Technicians who investigate, access, evaluate, and if needed, render safe or dispose of suspect devices. All development efforts undertaken are in support Presidential Policy Directive 17 (PPD-17), Countering Improvised Explosive Devices, and the National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board (NBSCAB) National Strategic Plan.
