Training

Explosives Division offers a variety of programs, including the most comprehensive tactical explosive breaching training available anywhere. Our instructors are world-recognized innovators within the field. Additionally, North Vector offers the only 80 hour certification course approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Through in-depth classroom instruction and practical application on actual structures (rather than facades or range facilities that cannot replicate actual effects experienced during urban detonations), participants learn to utilize explosives, identify all associated hazards present in the urban environment and proper mitigation/elimination of hazards as related to rapid entry into fortified locations. Breaching detonations are executed internal and external of various types of structures utilizing operationally proven techniques and tactics developed by North Vector.

Although no “open enrollment” courses are offered, North Vector can provide training at qualified client locations. By receiving instruction on site, our clients acquire tactical knowledge applicable to their particular environment. North Vector has been approved to provide this training to qualified foreign entities.

Continued advisement on tactical operations, involvement with multiple national and battle labs allows North Vector to update curriculum and education methodology. The Explosives Division also provides a technical website on explosive breaching and remains committed to providing many no cost services and assistance for qualified members of the community.

Maritime Division provides custom designed programs to address current maritime challenges in global threat regions applicable to jurisdictional responsibilities. These services are customized to the client’s specific region to cost effectively enhance existing assets and protocols.

Counterterrorism Division services law enforcement, military, and corporate clientele around the world. Staff personnel continue to serve in asymmetrical warfare, training, and advisory capacities in various global non-permissive environments.
