CTX 2013 Expands its hugely successful IEDD Demonstration Area
CTX 2013 Expands its hugely successful IEDD Demonstration Area
Taking place on the show floor across the 2 day event, the live scenario based demonstrations in IEDD Demonstration Area will be delivered by active working teams across three dedicated areas.
First Reponders (HART) teams will focus on best practice and inter-agency co-operation for Police, Fire and Ambulance teams to respond to IEED threats, contamination and disposal.
Counter Terrorism specialists will highlight the civilian or LEO approach by showcasing cutting edge technology and equipment and the military approach will be demonstrated by the MOD EOD team and will be focusing on EOD and CBRNE containment and use of UGV’s in a combat setting.
This live feature of Counter Terror Expo will host over 15 demonstrations of the latest and most innovative technologies in device or threat identification, search, containment and neutralization.
The location and destruction of a threat or device has one key critical consideration, and that is to keep the operator safe and as far away from the blast zone as possible. The latest innovations go further and further towards neutralizing that risk.
ROV’s advance as fast as the latest technology, see the newest developments in our specially constructed demonstration area, complete with multiple terrains to really show off not only what these machines can achieve, but who they can keep safe in the process.
For threat diagnosis, containment and disposal and for when the risk of sending in an operator to an unknown location is too high. Recon Robotics, Microdrones and Qinetiq are among the companies who will talking us through their live demonstrations
The MOD EOD team will be joining us to showcase how Hook and Line solutions can be employed in situations where either the remit is too complex for an ROV or the aim must be to preserve forensics.
Perhaps the last barrier to personal injury if often the protective suits worn by operators sent in when only a human touch will do. To mitigate the risk to the operator, protective suit techonology has to evolve in line with the latest threat being used, be it chemical or explosive. Visitors will be able to see the most innovative of these designs being put through their paces within the IEDD Demonstration area.
Stepping away from technological advancements, RFA dogs and LAPA K9 Dogs will be showing how Explosive detection dogs can be an effective and efficient tool not only to search vehicles, buildings, routes and luggage, but to act as a deterrent to a terrorist threat.
The IEDD Demonstration area will be a vital part of a visitor’s day to Counter Terror Expo and it is perhaps the best way to see how these vital solutions operate in a live situation.

Clarion Events organises more than 200 events (a mixture of exhibitions, conferences and seated events) annually across the globe. More than 12,000 companies trust us with their custom each year and over 700,000 people give their valuable time to visit our events. This success has come from identifying high-value, niche audiences in difficult-to-reach markets and then building them into market-leading products.
Highlights of the IEDD Demonstration Area Include:
SURVEILLANCE
As security arrangements around vital infrastructure and high value targets continue to optimize the perpetrator is increasingly likely to target the fringes of these areas. These areas may pose their own mobility and access difficulties but still require to be observed quickly and easily.
Microdrones UAV
COMPLEX MULTI THREAT
The threat to our major cities, events and infrastructure can be many fold. A growing major threat to crowded spaces is the deliberate release or spillage of commercial Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) such as poisons, toxins, carcinogens, acids etc, which could have the ability to cause mass casualties.

VEHICLE CLEARANCE
Some actions can be carried out by a ROV while some will remain beyond the ROV in complexity or capability, or may not be appropriate due to circumstances within operating procedures for example to minimise damage or preserve forensics. Once ROV actions have been completed semi-remote action using Hook & Line (H&L) or other operator deployed tools may commence or continue.

EXPLOSIVE DETECTION DOGS
Explosives can be hidden anywhere. Explosive detection dogs are effective, efficient and extremely versatile having the ability to search vehicles, buildings, routes and luggage. They can be used at vehicle check points and building entry points were their use also provides a high profile deterrent to would be terrorists.
