Security The global threat posed by terrorist, criminal and other subversive groups shows no sign of retreating. The emergence of the IED as a ‘weapon of choice’ for many such groups, and for individuals too, has made the work of law and security enforcers even more difficult.

A major security challenge, which Chemring EOD helps its customers to address, is the detection of threats concealed on a person or vehicle. We offer a wide range of effective solutions for the security market to combat such threats. These proven solutions draw on our extensive experience worldwide to provide new levels of security and protection in non-military environments. These environments include government buildings, prisons, sports stadia and critical infrastructure sites such as airports, railway stations, border control, power stations and nuclear, oil and gas plants. Chemring EOD solutions in this area include: c Site Access and Security systems – easy to use modular sensor/detector systems designed to offer customers robust early warning solutions at key entry and exit points c Rapid, accurate, underside scanning of road vehicles and railway carriages c Systems to detect not only IEDs but also other concealed items, such as drugs, people and firearms c Fixed security systems for the protection of critical sites and infrastructure c Temporary, rapidly set-up mobile solutions – for major sporting and other public events, for example

Detect IED and UXO

Site Access and Security

Accurate, reliable detection – with minimal false alarms – is vital in military operations, as is the ability to detect subsurface IEDs and ordnance.

Fast, accurate checking of vehicles entering key sites, while maintaining continuous traffic flow, is essential for the safe, secure and smooth running of government, infrastructure, military and commercial operations.

Chemring EOD offers a range of cost-effective and modular Detectors designed to the achieve accurate detection of key IED and UXO components with a minimal False Alarm Rate. ELECTRONIC STETHOSCOPE

SEARCH RE 80 M2 EST

The RE 80 M2 EST is an advanced, comprehensive, modular Electronic Stethoscope designed for both EOD & IEDD applications. The equipment has the capability of amplifying acoustic vibrations which are the basis of sound waves, emanating from mechanical, electro mechanical and certain electronic fuses and timing devices.

Our IED and UXO products:

VehicleScan from Chemring EOD is designed to achieve rapid underside scanning of cars, lorries, buses, coaches, motorbikes and trains with minimal operator resource or specialist training. The system is overt rather than covert, so it acts as a deterrent while also improving personal safety for operators.

The RE 80 M2 EST also features an optional Microwave Doppler Contactless Microphone which can be positioned with a useful stand off from the device being monitored. The Contactless Microphone can read the signature of a range of mechanical and electronic timers. It can be used as an autonomous, hand held search instrument or be patched in to the main Stethoscope for remote monitoring.
