Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED)

The Counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Electronic Warfare CREW2 training device replicates all switches, lights indicators and procedures of the actual device fielded to operational units. The CREW2 operates on assigned frequencies, effectively disabling the detonation components of the TIED2 and other improvised detonation systems when utilized with the Interrupt Device (ID2). The ID2 installs inline between any triggering device and the signature device and transmits a disable command from the CREW trainers to provide the end user with simulated apparent jamming. The ID2 also "talks" back to the CREW2 trainer in order to log an IED triggered event and identify itself by a number that is chosen on the side of the ID2. The TIED2 Common Interface Device is not required in this configuration. In addition, the CREW2 training device has a counter measure indicator unit (CIU) that is used to provide the same conceptual functionality as a test set. It is designed to provide verification feedback to the user that the device is functioning. The CREW2 captures operationally signification Electronic Warfare (EW) related events, configurations and settings to support an After Action Review. Additionally, CREW2 is programmable using an external programming source and provides normal electronic countermeasure employment procedures with no negative training.
