Classroom and field ready teaching tools
Offer operators deploying to theatre the chance of hands on RCIED training
Offer opportunity to operators to test their detection equipment with confidence
Helps operators understand the exact nature of the threats, their construction, and how this affects their TTPs

Classroom devices

These are provided in robust pelican cases with a clear Perspex screen for students to see device layout. Each has I/O ports for connection to flash bulbs, indoor sound units or additional IED devices (piggybacking).

Field devices

Field devices are manufactured for search training or industry
demonstrations. Devices are provided in an IP67 hobby box that can
be buried for detection purposes or surface laid in all weather conditions
(sealed unit).

All instructional aides can be tailored to specific customer requirements
and accompany the physical training aids. These range from simple
PowerPoint with slides to explain the training aids to fully immersive
Computer Based Training (CBT) programs which can be stand alone or
Net Enabled. More details are available on request.

Sgt SME Says... The REBUS C-RCIED System provides First Responders, Bomb Techs and Specialist Response Units with a front line of defence against suspect RCIEDs, which was previously unavailable. The system isolates the suspect RCIED without affecting the wider RF spectrum and hence the Force's ability to communicate, therefore enabling effective Command and Control during the Evacuation phase as well as during the Render Safe Procedure (RSP). The REBUS system is now being utilised by Bomb Techs more and more as an option for dealing with suspect RCIEDs or RCIEDs with novel payloads in areas of critical infrastructure. The system can be delivered by ROV thus allowing the appropriate RSP to take place if immediate disruption is not an option and once all other required protective or mitigation measures are in place.
