Suicide Vest
The Suicide Bomber Training Vest is a purpose-built training aid manufactured in-house by EOD Gear to replicate real-world improvised explosive device (IED) threat configurations for EOD, Special Operations, and public safety teams.
This is not a prop. It’s a training system.
Constructed using multiple inert HME charge packets integrated with inert detonation cord, the vest provides a realistic representation of common suicide-borne IED configurations used in modern threat environments.
Designed for scenario-based training, the system allows teams to rehearse response, recognition, and decision-making under conditions that mirror operational reality—not classroom assumptions.
Key Capabilities
• Realistic IED configuration using inert explosive simulants
• Configurable activation methods: push button or dead man switch
• Optional penalty buzzer for immediate feedback during training
• Radio backup trigger option for advanced scenarios
• Modular charge configurations to adjust threat profile
The vest can be deployed across multiple training environments including:
• Military EOD and Security Forces
• SWAT and Tactical Teams
• Crime Scene and Forensic Units
• Counter-IED and force protection training
Whether used on a role player, as a static device, or within a bomb-making lab scenario, the system enables rapid scenario changes and repeatable training iterations.
Manufactured in the USA under controlled processes, this product is available through GSA procurement channels, allowing streamlined acquisition for federal, state, and municipal agencies.
Most companies sell training aids.
We build training systems that reflect the threat.
Explosive threats require more than theory—they require realistic training.
EOD Gear is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR-registered, SBA-certified SDVOSB and GSA Contract holder manufacturing EOD and counter-IED equipment in the United States. Our training systems are built by operators, for operators—designed to replicate real-world threats and improve response under pressure.
