Counter IED Gear — Hunt the Device

IEDs are designed to be found too late. Counter IED gear exists to change that. Search, detect, mark, and defeat equipment for route clearance teams, EOD technicians, and bomb squads — plus the training aids to build the skill before the mission tests it. Over a decade of C-IED solutions: Command Wire Detectors, IED training aids, HME training kits, and IED builder kits. GSA-authorized SDVOSB. ITAR-compliant. ISO 9001:2015.

Counter IED Gear: Frequently Asked Questions

What is counter IED gear?

Equipment used to search for, detect, mark, and defeat improvised explosive devices before they dictate the mission — search and inspection tools, detection equipment, marking systems, and IED training aids supporting route clearance, EOD response, and public safety bomb squad operations.

How does counter IED gear differ from an EOD tool kit?

An EOD kit equips the technician performing render-safe procedures on a located device. Counter IED gear covers the wider fight: search teams finding devices, patrols marking and avoiding them, and units training to recognize threat indicators. There is overlap, but C-IED equipment serves the whole formation, not just the bomb tech. For technician loadouts, see EOD Tool Kits.

What are IED training aids?

Inert replicas and component kits that teach recognition of device types, initiation methods, and threat indicators. Units use them for awareness training, search drills, and exercise lanes — so the first real device a soldier or officer encounters is not the first one they have ever seen.

Are counter IED products restricted?

Some are. Search tools, marking equipment, and most training aids are available to professional buyers, while certain detection and defeat items are restricted to authorized government agencies. EOD Gear verifies agency credentials on restricted items before fulfillment — contact us to confirm eligibility before you order.

Who uses counter IED equipment?

Military route clearance and engineer units, EOD technicians, public safety bomb squads, dismounted patrols, and training organizations preparing personnel for IED threat environments. Force protection and security elements also use search and inspection tools at checkpoints and venues.

Can agencies purchase counter IED gear on GSA?

Yes. EOD Gear is a GSA Schedule contract holder — GS-07F-148GA — supporting agency purchase orders, GSA orders, and formal quotes. Use the contact form for agency pricing and program support.
