EOD 10

SUIT & HELMET ENSEMBLE

THE NEXT
GENERATION
BOMB SUIT
The EOD® 10 is engineered to give
best-in-class balanced protection
and support to bomb technicians
worldwide. The development team
took a user-centric focus to invent a
suit that is lighter and offers higher
overall protection. Every layer of
protective material was carefully
selected for optimum performance
to weight ratio. An extensive Human
Factors Engineering program
completely redesigned and resized the
helmet, jacket and trousers to reduce
fatigue and give a better fit. This lighter,
better fitting ensemble increases
mobility and flexibility so technicians
can operate more freely in difficult
locations for longer periods of time.

ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGIES
FOR MISSION
SUCCESS

The EOD 10 is the first bomb

suit to integrate multiple
digital technologies at a
system level to assist a user.
They help the operator control
functions, interact with their
surrounding environment,
communicate, perform their
render safe procedures,
configure their system and
reduce risk. The EOD 10
is more than a protective
ensemble: it is a forward-
looking platform designed to
support the addition of future
electronic capabilities.
MISSION-SPECIFIC LIGHTS
Users now have the choice of 3 LED lights: White, Red or
Blue. Their physical properties enable the user to select the
best option for the mission environment, such as tactical
scenarios, reducing risk when a photosensitive device is
suspected, or maximizing illumination of a dark space.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
The development program emphasized the need to
help technicians interact with their environment. The
system includes stereophonic acoustics to determine the
directional source of sounds, digital speakers, warnings
and alerts, new lights and an increased field of view.

VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM

The EOD 10 includes a built-in Voice Command System
that allows a user to control the helmet and suit’s many
electronically activated features while using their hands
to carry tools or use Hook & Line. This helps complete the
mission more efficiently during manual tasks.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

The EOD 10 Remote Control Unit is a significant
advancement over the previous generation. It controls
an array of new features and uses icons and numbers to
convey information clearly and precisely. It is operated by
voice commands or buttons that are raised and backlit.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The Remote Control Unit can configure and save several
functions, such as audio settings, ventilation and lights. The
system can save up to 4 sets of user preferences to serve
multiple team members or be preset for different operational
environments.

CONFIRMATIONS, WARNINGS
& DIAGNOSTICS
The helmet uses coloured lights inside the visor and audio
signals to convey mission-critical confirmations and warnings,
such as a low power level. In addition, the Remote Control Unit
displays troubleshooting guidance to keep the system in service.

INTEGRATED COOLING
The EOD 10 mitigates heat stress through two new ventilation
systems: one in the jacket, the other in the helmet. The flow
rates in these two systems can be controlled individually
or simultaneously. Ambient air can also be chilled by the
addition of optional cooling accessories.
