  • Computer Modeling

    Optimization of explosive systems is best accomplished by coupling computer model predictions with results from explosives testing. We partner with experienced hydrocode modellers to provide rapid iteration to fully-optimized designs.

  • Custom Design & Fabrication

    Need an explosive design for a specific task? We can help! Our real-world experience and hydrodynamic models guide the design. Then our in-house CNC shop allows accurate, rapid prototypes, followed by accurate test data from the bunker. It's the ideal optimization scheme: Hydromodel => Rapid Design & Fab => Accurate Test Data => Proven Optimized Design

  • IED Training Site

    Our site is an excellent venue for canine and live-fire training. Expose your canine troops to large and small quantities of energetic materials, with or without staged scenarios. Hone your EOD staff's discovery and disablement skills with staged scenarios and live-fire practice using their own tools, or using tools improvised from our inventory of energetics.

Explosives Licensing

To acquire the federal licenses you need to store, buy, sell, or manufacture explosives, click here: US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

A list of state license fees and requirements can be found here, courtesy of the Institute of Makers of Explosives: IME Biennial State Explosive Credential Directory

Explosives Vendors

While explosive sales is not our primary business, we do sell to local law enforcement and other qualified buyers in our local area as a courtesy to help them avoid the high per-pound transport costs incurred when purchasing small quantities from the manufacturers. If you're not in our local area and are looking for sources of explosives, you might try these links:
