Abstract

The PackBot EOD firing system was developed to allow the safe initiation of disruptors used to disable improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Safety is assured despite the use of communication links shared by possibly insecure computers on UGVs and control stations. This specific firing system was developed to enforce a particular EOD operational protocol where a single operator is responsible for the loading and use of the weapon. A unique combination of hardware and software design allows for unprecedented safety.
