Inert Barometric Pressure Switch

This simulated mail threat is an X-ray correct package bomb with an improvised barometric pressure (altitude) switch. It contains all the necessary P.I.E.S. (Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch) components of an IED.

The Semtex H simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat.To assist in classroom training, a picture of the internal components is displayed on the outer packaging with each of the P.I.E.S. components identified. This helps build image association without compromising the training aid.
