Problems solved by technology

The explosive is triggered by a MILES component, thereby producing a small but dangerous explosion that includes a fiery discharge, a loud noise and air percussion that can be felt.
Although this approach provides a realistic explosive experience, it provides a safety risk associated with the proximity of a person to fire, a small explosion and air percussion, any of which can cause serious injury to a person.
One problem with this ...

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention provides an inexpensive, safe and user-friendly apparatus for simulating an explosive. The apparatus includes a container including a non-toxic and user-safe powder for simulating an explosive plume, wherein the container bursts when gas is introduced into the container. The breaching of the container cannot cause injuries. The apparatus further includes a pressurized gas canister wherein the canister is coupled with the container so as to expel gas into the container when the canister is breached. The gas used in the canister is user-safe carbon dioxide and the breaching of the canister cannot cause injuries. The apparatus further includes a pyrotechnic coupled with the canister so as to breach the canister and produce an audible noise when the pyrotechnic is activated. The pyrotechnic provides the force necessary to breach the necessary elements of the simulated explosive device, while providing a non-lethal explosion that emits a loud sound and a visu...

Abstract

An apparatus for simulating an explosive is disclosed. The apparatus includes a container including a powder for simulating an explosive plume, wherein the container bursts when gas is introduced into the container. The apparatus further includes a canister including pressurized gas, the canister coupled with the container so as to expel gas into the container when the canister is breached. The apparatus further includes a pyrotechnic coupled with the canister so as to breach the canister and produce an audible noise when the pyrotechnic is activated. In one alternative the apparatus includes a mechanical or electrical trigger that activates the pyrotechnic.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present patent application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 647,243 filed on Jan. 26, 2005 and entitled “Security Forces Simulation Training System and Method.” U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 647,243 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC [0003] Not Applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates to simulation of explosives, and more particularly to the use of explosives simulation in military training. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] Military organizations use a variety military training techniques to instill skills into their members. One of the most effective types of military training is realistic training, otherwise known as war games. This type of training simulates actual combat scenarios and...
