Bruhn NewTech - EOD / C-IED Incident Management

Bruhn NewTech specialises in prediction, warning and reporting software solutions to limit the effects of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) hazards. Based on our long-standing operational know-how within military CBRNE risk-management solutions Bruhn NewTech has successfully introduced a portfolio of EOD / C-IED solutions ideally suited to the needs of EOD operators.

MILITARY EMERGENCY RECOVERY

These solutions help military and civil response organisations better prepare, protect and manage EOD incidents to reduce the loss of lives and ensure faster recovery. EOD Frontline from Bruhn NewTech is a powerful, real-time operational tool for EOD / C-IED incident management designed for use by military or civil emergency agencies.

EOD FRONTLINE OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Using EOD Frontline allows EOD operators to gain a common operational picture for force protection, enabling rapid information exchange, coordination and management to aid the decision-making process across all organisational levels.

The extensive range of applications makes EOD Frontline a useful tool for the operational tasking of incident managers. Thus, the easy-to-use EOD Frontline solution enables:

• UXO / IED mission-planning, reporting and reach-back
• Blast calculations and hazard calculations for CBR and Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) contents
• Battlefield area clearance
• Post-event clearance of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW)
• Sensor / robot connectivity
• Fully integrated reporting, enabling rapid communication of incident information throughout the command chain

The tool is designed to manage information on EOD / C-IED incidents using the NATO reporting system (STANAG 2221). The reports are used for tasking of EOD teams and reporting the steps taken to higher commands. Likewise this ensures the safe handover to new units by giving them vital information in a standardised format.

MILITARY MISSION-PLANNING SOFTWARE

An off-the-shelf solution, EOD Frontline is available in a stand-alone version or as an integrated version for inclusion in command and control systems. Moreover, EOD Frontline has a wide range of expansion and integration capabilities, such as integration of detectors, and interface to vehicle and robot (ROV) systems.

The ultimate tool for EOD / C-IED specialist organisations, EOD Frontline is developed and continuously improved in close cooperation with real users. Presently, EOD Frontline is in operational use with military forces, including current NATO and UN missions, police, fire services and rescue organisations. EOD Frontline has also been used for post-conflict clear up in Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq.

EODNET: BOMB DISPOSAL DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

EODNET from Bruhn NewTech is a web-based application designed for bomb disposal units providing them with a centralised information pool. Using EODNET allows EOD operators to collect and analyse UXO / IED data and share the knowledge.

The overall EODNET concept includes:

• Knowledge-sharing
• Different perspectives on data
• Integrated quality assurance and control
• Centralised data storage
• Improved information flow
• Statistical analysis
• Focused research and development, which can be initiated based on analysed data

BOMB DISPOSAL INFORMATION SOFTWARE

The data recorded in EODNET includes device or ordnance type and make up; location and time of incidents; patterns and trends; and render-safe procedures. With EODNET it is also possible to immediately notify EOD operators of a significant incident. EODNET ensures that EOD operators and managers have up-to-date tactical and strategic information at all times. If required, this information can be shared with other EOD teams, other nations and international centres.
