FAQ

1) About EODynamics

Q: What does EODynamics do?
A: EODynamics builds and delivers augmented‑reality (AR/VR) training systems, 3D printed training aids and capability, curriculum, and consulting for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA), and Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE). We combine field‑tested EOD expertise with modern spatial computing and responsible use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to accelerate safe, IMAS‑aligned training and capacity building.

Q: Who are your solutions for?
A: National authorities, NGOs, militaries supporting HMA, training centers, and donors seeking scalable EOD training and advisory services aligned to IMAS and national standards.

Q: Where are you based and where do you operate?
A: We are Sweden‑based and have historically supported programs across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Remote delivery and on‑site engagements are available.

Q: What problems do you solve?
A: Safer, faster training; reduced logistics; standardized assessment; better documentation; and IMAS‑aware workflows that improve quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and evidence‑based decision making.

2) EOD Training & Capacity Building

Q: Do you provide EOD training courses?
A: Yes. We design and deliver modular EOD/HMA training packages (EOD LVL 1 through EOD LVL 3+), instructor development, and train‑the‑trainer programs. Content can be localized and mapped to national SOPs.

Q: Is your training IMAS‑aligned?
A: Our curricula and assessments are developed to align with the IMAS framework (e.g., training, land release, EORE, QA/QC) and can be tailored to your authority’s directives.

Q: Can we use your systems in remote or austere locations?
A: Yes. Our kits are field‑ready and designed to operate offline, with optional connectivity for updates..

Q: Do you offer EORE content?
A: Yes. We support Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) with scenario‑based AR modules and data capture for monitoring and evaluation.

Q: Do you certify trainees?
A: We provide competency assessments, digital records, and training artifacts. Certification can be coordinated with your authority’s standards and accreditation pathways.

3) EOD Consulting & HMA Programs

Q: What consulting services do you offer?
A: Operational analysis, training needs assessments, SOP development, land release methodology support, program design, M&E frameworks, donor reporting and third party evaluation, and digital transformation roadmaps for HMA and EOD programs.

Q: Can you help with national standards and SOP harmonization?
A: Yes. We map procedures to IMAS and national context, and we develop implementable SOPs with training and QA/QC measures.

Q: Do you support capacity building for national authorities and NGOs?
A: Yes. We co‑design roadmaps, deliver instructor training, and embed digital tools to sustain outcomes and reduce delivery costs over time. EODynamics was born out of observing a lack of organizations that actually build national capacity. We strive and deliver on meaningful training and capacity building.

4) IMAS Compliance & Standards

Q: What is IMAS and how do you align with it?
A: The International Mine Action Standards provide common guidance for safe, effective HMA. Our training, documentation, and QA/QC processes are built to align with IMAS and can incorporate ISO 31000 risk management practices.

Q: Can you help us prepare for IMAS compliance audits?
A: Yes. We run readiness reviews, gap analyses, and corrective‑action plans, including training records and evidence packs, to support audits and donor due diligence.

Q: Do you align with other standards (e.g., STANAG 2389, NATO AASTP‑1, NMAS)?
A: We can incorporate relevant standards and national criteria into training modules, simulations, and documentation where appropriate to your mandate. Only EOD operators that have met these starts as a part of there professional development are put on these projects.

5) Products (EHART, A3RO, Ordnance Library)

Q: What is EHART?
A: EHART (Explosive Hazard Augmented Reality Trainer) is our AR training system on Meta Quest headsets. It enables realistic, scalable, classroom‑to‑field training with instructor control, dynamics scenario creation, and reduced logistics costs.

Q: What is A3RO?
A: A3RO (Augmented 3D Reality Ordnance) is our growing 3D ordnance fuze functioning library and kit for IMAS and STANAG training that also includes a 3D view and Mobile AR viewing capability.

Q: Do your products include real explosives or functional munitions?
A: No. Our systems are inert and digital. We do not supply functional weapons or explosives.

Q: Do you support custom ordnance models or local threat sets?
A: Yes. We can create custom 3D models from your reference material and integrate them into localized scenarios and curricula and the EHART system’s ordnance library.

Q: Do you offer headsets and cases as a turnkey kit?
A: Yes. We supply complete kits (e.g., Meta Quest headsets, rugged cases, accessories) with preloaded with our software.

6) Deployment, Support & Logistics

Q: What are the hardware and network requirements?
A: A Meta Quest headset per trainee, an instructor personal computer/tablet for session control (optional), and Wi‑Fi for updates and networked operations (optional). Systems run offline once content is installed.

Q: Can you train our instructors?
A: Yes. We provide instructor onboarding, lesson‑building workshops, and ongoing support.

Q: Do you support multi‑site or low‑bandwidth environments?
A: Yes. Content can be staged for offline use; updates can be scheduled when connectivity is available.

Q: What support is included?
A: Standard support includes installation guidance, documentation, and reach-back support. Enhanced support packages and on‑site support are available.

7) Safety, Legal & Ethics

Q: Do your products reveal sensitive or restricted technical information?
A: No. We design content for training and risk education without publishing sensitive manufacturing details or instructions that enable wrongdoing.

Q: Are there export controls or licensing requirements?
A: Some components may be subject to export controls depending on destination and end‑use. We support compliance screening and required documentation.

Q: Can you provide inert training aids or 3D‑printed models?
A: We can supply or advise on inert, non‑functional training aids and 3D models consistent with local laws and organizational policies. Clients are responsible for ensuring local compliance.

8) Procurement, Pricing, and Grants

Q: How do we purchase or procure your systems?
A: We support direct procurement, donor‑funded acquisitions, and competitive tenders. We can provide technical specs, requirements, and statements of work.

Q: Do you offer NGO or multi‑kit pricing?
A: Yes. We offer tailored pricing for NGOs, national authorities, and multi‑site deployments. Request a quote to receive scope‑specific pricing and lead times.
