The Dismounted Modular EOD Backpack System is a lightweight, scalable response solution designed to provide a sustainable Explosive Ordnance Disposal capability for a typical two-person EOD team operating in a dismounted or light-scale role. The system is specifically engineered to minimise weight and bulk, allowing teams to carry essential EOD equipment alongside normal field kit without compromising mobility or endurance.
This backpack system delivers a critical operational capability when heavy-role equipment is unsuitable, unavailable, or impractical. It enables EOD operators to respond safely and effectively across a full spectrum of EOD tasks, improving operational safety while maintaining flexibility in dynamic and hostile environments.
Developed by a serving senior EOD operator and extensively field tested in demanding operational theatres—including arid, tropical, and high-threat environments—the system has been proven to meet real-world operational requirements under harsh climatic and tactical conditions.
The system utilises a two-pack configuration, optimised for a two-person team. This approach enhances load sharing while providing essential equipment segregation, particularly for explosive items such as detonators and bulk charges. The modular architecture allows teams to configure loads based on mission requirements, with the ability to add or remove equipment as needed.
The design supports integration of additional specialist equipment to enhance capability against Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) threats, making the system adaptable to evolving operational demands.
Innovative Hook and Line Capability: Supports semi-remote manipulation and access tasks.
Advanced Metal Detection: Enables effective search and location of metallic threats.
Takedown Mine Prodder with Hand Protection: Designed for controlled probing in hazardous environments.
Search Equipment: Assists in reconnaissance, survey, and threat location tasks.
Explosive Tools: Supports identification, diagnosis, and render-safe procedures.
Modular Construction: Allows complete flexibility to tailor the system to mission needs.
Reduced Weight and Bulk: Enables dismounted operations without sacrificing EOD capability.
Enhanced Operator Safety: Supports standoff techniques and controlled procedures.
Rapid Response: Ideal for immediate response and light-scale deployments.
Scalable Configuration: Easily expanded with additional equipment and explosives.
Proven in Service: Designed and validated through extensive operational use.
The backpack system adheres strictly to established EOD doctrine and philosophy, providing capability across all key phases of EOD operations:
Reconnaissance and survey
Search and location
Access
Identification and diagnosis
Render Safe Procedures
Final disposal
This system is suitable for military and police EOD units, immediate response teams, light-scale deployed operations, and humanitarian demining and EOD teams requiring a practical, flexible, and field-proven dismounted EOD solution.
