LAFAYETTE, La., July 31 (UPI) — The Arkansas State Police Bomb Squad has received its order of an explosive blast suppression technology from U.S. company Burner Fire Control Inc.
Burner Fire Control recently conducted a specialized training session with authorities from the Arkansas State Police ahead of an official transfer of its Global Defender Blast Mitigation System to the Bomb Squad unit.
According to a news release, the Global Defender Blast Mitigation System is designed to suppress blast effects of improvised explosive dispersal devices and “is remotely operated, keeping personnel at a safe distance from the explosive device.”
