What is a Sensitive Site Exploitation Kit (SSE Kit)?
A Sensitive Site Exploitation Kit (SSE Kit) is a field-ready kit used by military and law enforcement personnel to collect, preserve, and document evidence during tactical operations. These kits allow operators to gather intelligence, documents, electronics, biometrics, and other materials during site exploitation missions.
Who uses SSE Kits?
Sensitive Site Exploitation Kits are commonly used by:
• Military EOD teams
• Special Operations Forces
• Tactical law enforcement units
• Intelligence collection teams
• Counterterrorism units
These kits support both battlefield exploitation and domestic law enforcement operations.
What items are typically included in an SSE kit?
Most SSE kits include tools and supplies used for evidence collection and documentation, such as:
• Evidence bags
• Evidence tags and labels
• Tamper-evident seals
• Evidence markers
• Documentation forms
• Chain-of-custody materials
• Collection tools such as tweezers or gloves
The exact contents can vary depending on mission requirements.
Why are SSE kits important during tactical operations?
Sensitive Site Exploitation Kits allow operators to properly preserve evidence and intelligence discovered during operations. Proper evidence collection supports intelligence exploitation, forensic analysis, and prosecution when required.
Can SSE kits be customized?
Yes. EOD Gear specializes in Custom Off-The-Shelf (COTS) kit development, allowing units to configure SSE kits based on mission requirements, operational environment, and agency procedures.
Are SSE kits available through government procurement?
Yes. The EOD Gear Sensitive Site Exploitation Kit is available through our GSA Schedule contract, allowing federal agencies and qualified buyers to procure kits through standard government purchasing channels.
