ID Force is proud to work together with the EPEquip team to
provide our solutions (Hardware & Software) where appropiate.
EOD & Search
The pervasive use of explosives by
insurgent and criminal
organisations presents evolving
operational challenges to public safety and military
personnel worldwide. The growing trend towards
Vehicle-Borne IEDs (VBIEDS) and Person-Borne IEDs
(suicide bombers), has compounded the difficulty of
providing safety and security in high profile areas such
as urban centres and mass transit. In parallel, civilians
living in post-conflict countries continue to suffer
personal injury and economic hardship due to Anti-
Personnel Mines and other Explosive Remnants of War.
EPE provides all branches of the explosive disposal
community with comprehensive solutions of integrated
Counter-IED intelligence, equipment and training to
defeat these threats.
Tactical System
Modern tactical operations are
conducted in a range of diverse
environments and conducted
against ever increasingly skilled
insurgents/criminals resulting in
patterns of complex operations demanding more from
operators, equipment and commanders. EPE has
teamed with a number of world leaders in this area to
provide cutting edge equipment and training with a view
to enhancing overall capability and increasing kinetic
momentum whilst reducing potential risk to team
members.
Umanned Systems
EPE has earned a
reputation for providing
and maintaining a very
capable and
comprehensive range of
multi-mission Unmanned
Ground Systems including Unmanned Groud Vehicles
(UGVs) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) platforms.
The UGV platforms vary from micro to large which can
include integrated Weapon Systems, CBRN/ HAZMAT
sensors, Ground Penetrating Rader (GPR) and various
accessory and kits to list a few. EPE is one of Australia’s
largest suppliers of UGV’s to the Australian Defence
Force (ADF) and Law Enforcement.
EPE provides a family of high-performance, low-cost
aerial systems that can be hand-launched/recovered by
a single operator in any weather. Our proven system
with combat experience, provides immediate tactical ISR
in urban and rural environments to inform the ground
forces commander’s decision-making process. EPE is
CASA certified and holds Operators Certificate (OC)
CASA.UOC.0326.
All Hazards - CBRNe Products
Whether the release or
discovery of Chemical,
Biological, Radiological,
Nuclear and Explosive
(CBRNe) materials is
accidental or intentional,
criminal or terrorist, natural or man-made, the ability to
detect the presence of these unseen threats is becoming
increasingly important. In order to secure borders and
infrastructure, prevent loss of life, disruption to essential
services and the execution of a criminal or terrorist act,
first responders, military personnel and emergency
services need a complete suite of detection and
diagnostic tools at their fingertips.
Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) and
Exploitation
The prevalence and severity
of Radio Controlled
Improvised Explosive
Devices (RCIEDs) demands
maximum protection for
those operating in
increasingly harsh RF environments. EPE is partnered
with Allen Vanguard, a world leader in Electronic
Countermeasure (ECM) solutions against the continued
and evolving threat of RCIEDs. EPE offers an extensive
range of products and services for ECM and Exploitation
defence to support vehicle protection (individual or
convoy) and protection of dismounted troops to EOD
operations (both carry forward and control site
protection), static entry point protection and VIP
protection operations. Our solutions and other
regulatory controlled products are extensively fielded in
high-threat theatres around the world.
Counter Drone Technology / Counter RPAS
Technology
The emergence of small,
lightweight, low cost Drones/
Unmanned Aerial System
(UAS)/Remotely Piloted Aircraft
Systems (RPAS) offers many
applications. Adversaries have
also realised this opportunity to remotely deploy threats.
RPAS can be vehicles for delivering high hazard
payloads; can present a threat by their very presence; or
as platforms for illegal surveillance. RPAS present one of
the most challenging and dynamic threats to Defence
Forces on operations, and to Law Enforcement in
protecting persons, events and critical infrastructure
domestically. RPAS can deliver contraband into Prisons,
carry out surveillance of military bases and assets,
create havoc at high profile events, and deliver IEDs in
combat zones.
EPE offers systems to detect, monitor, identify and
mitigate such threats, allowing users to safely stop,
redirect, land or take control of a suspect drone where
legislation allows. EPE has systems currently in-service
with several Australian customers. EPE has delivered this
capability from initial advice, site survey, installation,
training, and ongoing monitoring and support of the
system including the provision of weekly reports.
Deployable Infrastructure
Deployed agencies require
supporting infrastructure
that is robust, modular,
scalable and simple to
deploy while being
efficient, selfsufficient and
enabling maximum
synergy for transport, maintenance and training.
The nature of our operational infrastructure systems
enables the configuration to meet any scenario
requirements. Our deployable force infrastructure
products are varied, flexible, scalable and modular. They
are all easy to deploy with minimal manpower
requirements and are currently deployed with Military,
NGO and UN operations throughout the world.
Crew Survivability
An IED Blast event
presents a potentially
lethal threat to vehicle
crews who must be
protected from both
phases of a blast event:
the initial upward
acceleration, followed by a ‘slam-down’ to the ground,
potentially into a significant crater and likely without the
benefit of the vehicle’s suspension. The heat generated
and trapped inside an armoured vehicle can exceed 65
degrees celcius (150 degrees F), overwhelming most
conventional cooling capabilities. Extreme heat can
jeopardize the mission through electronics failure and
can cause loss of focus and heat stress or potentially
fatal injury for vehicle occupants.
