Homemade Explosives & Chemical Precursors Course

Extremists and Extremist Groups throughout the world are continually in search of new methods and means to obtain explosive materials. As nation states have improved their abilities to regulate and control military and commercial grade explosives, extremists have increased their reliance on Homemade Explosives (HME). HMEs are inexpensive and easily manufactured. Their use has led to an urgent need to prepare Law Enforcement / EOD / K9 / Intelligence & SOF Operators to recognize HME, the precursor chemicals, the manufacturing processes, and
the equipment used in its production.

Tactical Electronics’ HME and Chemical Precursors Training provides a thorough understanding of the varying types of HME and their associated precursors. This course emphasizes a hands-on approach, where EOD / K9 / Intelligence & SOF Operators perform the refinement, concentration, combination, manufacture and/or dilution of precursor chemicals commonly or commercially available in targeted operational environments. Attendees will construct the physical processing equipment and manufacture a wide array of homemade explosives in a safe and informative environment. Students will participate in classroom study, HME Labs and practical range exercises under the supervision of qualified HME instructors.

As an ATF Type 20 FEL holder for the manufacture of explosives we are certified at the Federal, State, and Local levels for the manufacture of explosives. Our Virginia and Oklahoma training locations also hold explosive inventory and maintain range facilities to support in depth HME course delivery.
