This course covers HME characteristics, indicators, chemical precursors, commonly used processing equipment, clandestine manufacturing sites, and their associated hazards. APT provides all necessary training materials to include HME-related IED training devices, mock lab facilities, and simulators. We also provide practical exercises at the end of each training block.
Description: This course provides information related to manufacturing HME and components, including relevant types found by the FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, and the Theaters of Operation.
Course Time: This course requires four days to complete, with approximately 40% classroom learning and 60% scenario-driven practical exercises.
Learning Objectives:
- Information on commonly used types of HME, precursors, Nitrates, Chlorates, Peroxides and Permanganates, common fuels (solid and liquid), common oxidizers (solid and liquid), associated hazards, and improvised detonators.
- Provide current, relevant sampling and hazard mitigation procedures on the different types of HME.
