Our History

Our company has become an industry leader in the non-pyrotechnic simulation of IEDs, VBIEDs, battlefield effects and explosive effects.  Originally developed for EOD training at NAVSCOLEOD in 1999,  our simulators are now used world wide.

Every X-O Explosive Simulator uses a precisely controlled blend of oxygen and propane ignited within an open ended cylinder to produce a safe, but very realistic simulated explosive blast.  Both the safety and realism have been tested and confirmed by sound pressure and blast over-pressure measurements.

X-O Explosive Blast Simulators are available in several different sizes and configurations to fit a variety of training needs: small vehicle or building mounted units, mid-sized one man portable simulators designed for ease of concealment or extended use and larger devices for simulating VBIEDs or roadside bombs for training mounted troops.

Every X-O Explosive Simulator can be command fired or victim operated.  Wireless control options include the ability to control up to ten devices up to 600 meters distant from a single remote.  Victim operated scenarios can use hardwired triggers or Inert Functional IEDs that are absolutely identical to actual devices except for an inert simulated explosive charge and the use of our X-CAP blasting cap transmitter in place of the actual detonator.
