Comments -
The ECD measures roughly 78 inches long x 48 inches high x 34 inches wide. Designed to fully contain an explosives event involving up to 5 lbs. TNT or equivalent. Initially designed for the FAA as a bomb containment vessel complement lugagae screening operations, it is suitable for other applications as well. A paper on the ECD was given at the 26th DDESB Seminar in Orlando, FL. The DDESB is currently awaiting the documentation package for review.
