Inert P.I.E.S. Kit

Product Brochure

The Inert P.I.E.S. Kit allows for thousands of IED component combinations for use in screening and training environments. P.I.E.S. (Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch) is a popular security mnemonic for IED components in a screening environment.

Built on the foundation of the popular Inert Explosive Kit (TSK6000), the TSK6500 includes ten different X-ray correct assemblies and 32 different X-ray correct explosive simulants. Each assembly consists of various switch configurations, blasting caps, and batteries (power sources) that can mix and match with each explosive simulant. Most of the switches are recognizable as common, everyday items, such as timers and cell phones.

This kit is often used to train screeners on the vast difference explosives can have in size, shape, texture, and feel. Each explosive simulant and assembly is visually correct and engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Z_eff) as the real explosive threat. Perfect for classroom and checkpoint training, this kit allows screeners to evaluate the ways IED components can look and feel, as well as understand how they function. This helps build image association of explosive texture and X-ray characteristics.

We believe there are no other products on the market that offer the capability and complete functionality of this kit. Each of the 35 different replica explosives are tactilely correct and completely safe to handle.
