SUMMARY:X-Ray Focused Technology Training Exercise (FTTE)
DESCRIPTION:The United States Bomb Technician Association (USBTA) will conduct a Focused Technology Training Exercise (FTTE) at the USBTA Indian Head\, Maryland facility. \nCourse Overview\nX-ray interpretation is a critical skill in identifying\, assessing\, and mitigating the threat posed by IEDs. One of the most effective methods for detecting these devices is through x-ray recognition technology. With advancements in technology\, specialized software tools such as XTK (X-ray Toolkit) have become essential in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of IED x-ray analysis. \nIED x-ray interpretation is a complex\, high-stakes task that benefits significantly from advanced digital tools. XTK stands out as a critical resource for enhancing the capabilities of bomb technicians and EOD teams. \nPDF Flyer \nEvent Location\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUSBTA Indian Head Facility\, 4450 Indian Head Highway\, Indian Head\, MD 20640 | Map\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Dates\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, June 2 – Thursday\, June 4\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Contacts\n\nShaj Jagtiani\nAmber Lowe\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT:\n\n\nYou must be logged in to enable registration for the various types based on your membership profile.
