Learn about the engineering principles of IED fuzing and firing systems.  Technicians should have sixteen to twenty-four hours of prior electronics training.  The first portion of the course will provide a short review of basic electronics, and then technicians will dive into calculating circuit functioning times. Technicians will read circuit diagrams and use protoboards to build and then solder numerous circuits found in today’s IEDs. Topics will include: detonator physics, voltage dividers, resistor-capacitor circuits, mechanical switches and electromechanical switches, capacitors as power sources, discrete semi-conductors, operational amplifiers, 555 timers, counter chips, digital logic chips, and more. Students will also build booby-trapped battery and detonator circuits.
