Blow Torch Counter IED System

The vehicle-mounted blow torch system was designed to prematurely detonate explosives at operational speeds. Detonating the charge at a safe stand-off distance causes minimal damage to vehicles and, most importantly, Soldiers. The Joint IED Defeat Organization and the Rapid Equipping Force fielded several blow torch systems to deployed forces.

Combat locks on the up-armored HMMWV M1114 provide security for the occupants during enemy attempted forced entry during convoy operations. The addition of the Crew Extraction D-ring provides solid anchor points for the hooks of a tow strap, chain or cable. This allows a rescue vehicle to be used to pull damaged doors open and provides safe egress from the HMMWV.
