ExacTrac Dynamic unifies the power and precision of cutting-edge tracking technologies delivering high-precision treatments for a wide range of patient positioning and monitoring workflows including cranial, spine, lung, breast DIBH, and prostate. This all-in-one system’s revolutionary thermal-surface camera technology works in tandem with real-time X-Ray tracking for extraordinary accuracy. The 4D Thermal Camera creates a highly accurate and reliable hybrid thermal surface by correlating the patient’s heat signature to their reconstructed 3D surface structure. To achieve this, 300,000 3D surface points are acquired and matched to the heat signal generated by the thermal camera, creating another dimension to track their position. X-ray panels show more anatomy for easier orientation and interpretation of X-Ray images. At the same time, improved soft tissue contrast and enhanced read-out speed prevent motion blurring effects. Thanks to higher heat capacity, ExacTrac Dynamic X-Ray tubes support more automated, high frequency imaging.

INITIAL SUCCESS OR TOTAL FAILURE. Americans celebrate fireworks on the 4th of July. The other 364 days, Navy EOD-the Navy's elite bomb squad-is working to prevent the ones that aren't for show. Armed with cutting-edge robotics and explosive disposal expertise, they take on missions that demand skill, precision, and absolute nerve-from parachuting into hostile territory to neutralizing underwater mines. This isn't a job for the ordinary. It's for those who can think fast, stay calm, and operate under extreme pressure-because when it comes to explosives, there's no second chance. Enlisted Officer WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician NAVY EOD: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS Responsibilities As an EOD Tech, you'll receive extensive training to perform missions neutralizing explosive weapons in almost every environment. Your duties may require you to: • Detonate and demolish hazardous munitions, pyrotechnics and outdated explosives, • Neutralize various ordnance, including sea mines, torpedoes or depth charges, • Work with cutting-edge technology to remotely disable unsafe ordnance, • Perform parachute or helicopter insertion operations, • Support law enforcement agencies, • Clear waterways of mines in support of our ships and submarines, • Lend your skills and support to other military units or offices, such as the U.S. Secret Service or the U.S. Department of State Work Environment Your missions will take you to every corner of the world. One assignment may have you parachuting from 17,000 feet into enemy territory, while the next may deliver you stealthily to a foreign nation via an 11-foot RHIB boat. It all depends on which unit you're supporting and the type of mission to be completed. Though there will be administrative work, the majority of your time will be spent in the field. Training & Advancement Upon completion of the initial 10-week training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as boot camp), you'll begin a specialized training program to prepare you for your career as an EOD Tech. EOD Preparatory Course (four weeks) - The Navy EOD training pipeline starts with preparatory training in Great Lakes, IL. Candidates work on swim stroke development, long-range swims and physical conditioning. Candidates receive daily human performance coaching on mental resiliency, strength training form, running, swimming, calisthenics as well as proper rest, recovery and nutrition. Classroom instruction includes introductions to small boat operations, professional military education and risk management. EOD Assessment and Selection Course (four weeks) - After prep, candidates will be challenged in a grueling training environment in which they are constantly assessed on their comfort in the water, physical fitness, academic ability, professionalism and peer rankings. Classroom instruction includes topics such as risk management, dive physics, diving medicine, small boat navigation and Navy maintenance. Daily physical training and assessments are centered around five advanced aquatic adaptability skills, ruck runs, distance swims and the human performance test. At the end of the course, candidates will participate in a formal selection board. Here, instructors will select the best qualified and most likely to successfully complete advanced training to graduate and proceed to diver training. Diver Training (seven weeks) - Next comes dive school at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) in Panama City, FL. Training covers basic concepts of scuba diving as well as dive physics, physiology and basic dive medicine. Candidates also learn about equipment such as the MK16 underwater rebreather and MK25 underwater rebreather. EOD School (44 weeks) - After successfully completing dive school, candidates transfer to Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, FL. This training comes in several sections, each section building upon the skills learned from previous areas of training. Candidates will train in demolition operations, rendering safe bombs, missiles, landmines, defusing Improvise Explosive Devices (IEDs), protecting and detecting against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) weapons and mastering skills needed to defeat underwater ordnance such as sea mines and torpedoes. Basic Parachute Training (three weeks) - After completing basic EOD school, graduates attend basic airborne training ("jump school") at Fort Benning, GA, where they qualify as a basic parachutist. EOD Tactical Training (four weeks) - The final phase of training is in San Diego, CA. It teaches helicopter insertion (fast-rope, rappel, cast and special patrol insertion, and extraction rigging), small arms/weapons training, small unit tactics (weapons, self-defense, land navigation and patrolling) and tactical communications (satellite and high frequency). Upon successful completion of the EOD training pipeline, graduates are assigned to EOD mobile units where they gain advanced on-the-job training and experience as members of EOD platoons. Advanced Training - EOD technicians may pursue advanced training options to hone and specialize their skills. Some of these options include: • Parachute water insertion training, • Military freefall, • Advanced Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (AIEDD), • WMD training, • Jumpmaster training, • Small unit tactics, • Small arms instructor, • Language school (Defense Language Institute) For those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, EOD Officer roles are available, providing the opportunity to lead and train others. Post-Service Opportunities It's also important to note that the specialized training received, and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields. Education Opportunities Members of the Naval Special Operations community have any number of unique opportunities to advance their education. Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from the fundamentals of explosive ordnance disposal to chemical and biological warfare, military tactics, deep-sea diving, as well as other tactical military procedures. Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in the NSW/NSO field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education. You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Qualifications & Requirements No college degree is required to apply for a position as an EOD Technician. However, training is tough and ongoing, and a high degree of difficulty should be expected. You can apply for the Navy Warrior Challenge contract for EOD Technicians at any time during your first enlistment.
