Overview
At MKDS we provide your organization with a custom package, specific to your requirements.

Mission:
To provide C-IED operators and commanders with the practical skills required to accurately gather evidence and intelligence at the scene of an IED incident as well as its subsequent collation, assessment and dissemination for use in wider anti-terrorism operations.

Background:
Weapons Intelligence (WI) is a pivotal function of the global war on terror’s overall intelligence effort. An understanding of the tactics, techniques and procedures – including the equipment, and technical ability of a terrorist group, and its links to similar groups and individuals, is key to the defeat of terrorism. With that in mind, the MKDS Weapons Intelligence Team (WIT) Operations and Planning course has been specifically designed to introduce delegates to a number of scenarios in the form of case studies - as well as outlining the tactics, techniques and procedures necessary to gather IED related evidence and intelligence in both the homeland and high-threat environments.

Areas covered will include:

  • The Weapons Intelligence Process
  • Scene Investigation Procedures
  • The role of the bomb scene (weapons intelligence) investigator
  • Bomb Scene Safety
  • Introduction to Post-incident scene management and forensic search and analysis procedures
  • Introduction to IEDs and explosives
  • Introduction to Terrorist Electronics
  • IED Component Identification
  • Global Terror Group MO
  • Bomb Factory Procedures
  • Scene Photography
  • Weapons Intelligence Reporting
  • Identifying sources of weaponry, trafficking methods and hide areas.

  • Providing technical assistance to police and military operations.
  • Disseminating regular and special reports.


Course Objective
At the conclusion of this course, delegates will be able to advise on the full spectrum of skills required to accurately gather evidence and intelligence at the scene of an IED incident as well as its subsequent collation, assessment and dissemination for use in wider anti-terrorism operations.
