Extensively
tested by the U.S. Army under the auspices of the eminently
qualified National Bomb Data Center, this unit safely controlled the
detonation of up to 20 pounds of TNT, Composition Four and High Density
Primers (Technical Bulletin 44-72). Subsequent testing also concluded
that the SID™
provided ample protection inside the towing vehicle. Peak shock
pressures recorded inside the truck cab did not approach the level that would
cause damage to the driver's eardrums. Designed with the highest
regard to safety, SID™
is the most extensively tested bomb disposal unit with a well documented
history of service. This compact, lightweight trailer has been safely
towed at 90 mph, and can be easily towed by an average sedan and
maneuvered in tight, narrow streets. It is also equipped with electric
brakes on each wheel and a battery powered break away system that stops the
trailer in the unlikely event it becomes separated from the towing vehicle. Farawa™, an advanced remote loading and
unloading system, is included for use with the SID™ system. Using this system,
the operator controls the loading and unloading of a suspect item by coded
radio up to 500 feet away or by hard wired cable up to 100 feet away.
Once the item is secured, Farawa™
moves the device to the blast chamber. The system is preprogrammed to
stop directly over the center of the chamber, preventing over travel and
eliminating guess work. Farawa™ is also available separately for
use with existing systems. IED Technician Training on the operation and maintenance of SID™ is provided at our facilities for your designated representative |
