Increment 2 Training IED (TIED 2)
—The TIED 2 kit is a non-pyrotechnic IED simulator
that uses CO
2
and talcum powder to create the smoke effect of an explosion. TIED
2 can also be used with pyrotechnic devices to create a real explosion. The devices
can be detonated by remote control or by direct wire. The TIED 2 can be defeated by
simulated electronic countermeasures, which are described below.
CREW 2 training device (DUKE trainer)
—CREW 2 simulates the actual device Felded
to units to electronically disable IEDs. During training, the CREW 2 captures events,
conFgurations, and settings that can be used in an after action review. CREW 2
can also be ordered with a laptop and PDA that can be used for building training
conFguration Fles. The Fles can then be uploaded to CREW 2 for training.
A counter-indicator unit (CIU) is also available that acts as a test set for the
CREW 2.
Interrupt Device, Increment 2 (ID2)
—The ID2 installs in-line between any triggering
device and the IED and transmits a disable command from the CREW 2, simulating
jamming.
Chameleon trainer
—The trainer simulates the Chameleon disarming device by
using software to disarm the TIED 2 or Interrupt Device 2.
Suicide bomber vest simulator
—The vest uses CO
2
cartridges to simulate the
behavior and effects of a suicide bomber.
All of the IED training devices can be ordered through PEO STRI’s MAJ ±rank

Training for the
Dangers of IED
homemade bombs, commonly known
as Ieds (improvised explosive
devices), have taken a heavy toll on
soldiers and vehicles in iraq.
to help soldiers learn to
recognize and quickly react to
Ieds, the army’s program executive
office of simulation, training and
instrumentation (peo strI) has
developed several training devices
that simulate Ieds.
these devices can help your unit
prepare for the dangers of iraq…
