Aim:
HMEC-Basic‘s aim is to educate Non-EOD qualified personnel about the fundamentals of identification of individual precursors that are regularly used in the process of manufacturing of Home-Made Explosives (HMEs). The same teaching process also applies to the identification of HME final products. Great emphasis is also placed on recognition of various manufacturing equipment and clandestine HME laboratories. The students are also taught basic principles of taking the necessary safety precautions and reporting the HME-related incidents.
Course objectives:
After successful completion of the course, the graduates will be able to:
                 understand:
  • the explosives phenomena, types and their effects, as well as the explosives characteristics.
