SUMMARY:Joint Hazardous Assessment Team (JHAT) | Focused Technology Training Exercise (FTTE) | Indian Head\, MD
DESCRIPTION:The United States Bomb Technician Association (USBTA) and the United States CBRN HAZMAT Technician Association (USCHTA) both 501(c)(3)\, will conduct two 2-day Joint Hazardous Assessment Team (JHAT) Focused Technology Training Exercises (FTTEs) at the USBTA facility in Indian Head\, MD\, 4450 Indian Head Hwy\, Indian Head\, MD 20640\, on May 19-20 and May 21-22\, 2026. \nJHAT FTTE: These are two-day Joint Hazards Assessment Team (JHAT) exercises presented at the USBTA Facility in Indian Head\, MD.  JHAT Teams bring multiple public safety disciplines together to effectively provide Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological\, Nuclear\, and Explosive (CBRNE) event and venue protection\, as well as responding to incidents. A multi-layer\, modular and flexible approach is a key consideration in providing CBRNE protection at venues and events.  The exercises will take students through development\, employment of teams\, hands-on applications\, and response to incidents within a venue or planned event.  These exercises will also introduce students to planning considerations for threats both known and unknown for venues and planned events.  The two-days include classroom lessons\, functional/practical applications\, and hands-on exercises.  Training considerations will follow current industry accepted best practices. This program will encompass training\, planning considerations\, equipment selection\, evolving threats and risk reduction along with case studies.  Participants will have the opportunity to use cutting-edge equipment and/or their own issued equipment. \nParticipants will be provided with handouts\, operation guides and other checklists.  Suggested attendees include HazMat Technicians\, CBRN Responders as well as bomb technicians. \nRegistration Options\nRegistration is available for this event for: \n\nParticipants (Active Technicians)\nIndustry Partners\nObservers\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT:\n\n\nYou must be logged in to enable registration for the various types based on your membership profile. \nLOGIN\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\nUnited States Bomb Technician Association\n4450 Indian Head Hwy\, Indian Head\, MD 20640 [Map]\n\nEvent Dates\n\nFTTE 1\n\nTuesday\, May 19 – Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026\n\n\nFTTE 2\n\nThursday\, May 21 – Friday\, May 22\, 2026\n\n\n\nAirport\n\nReagan National (DCA) – 28 miles\nDulles (IAD) – 56 miles\nBaltimore (BWI) – 62 miles\n\nHotels\nRoom blocks are available at the Hilton Garden Inn Waldorf\, MD.  This room block will expire on May 8 2026.

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\nHotel Information\n\n\n\nHilton Garden Inn Waldorf\, 10385 O’Donnell Place\, Waldorf\, MD 20603 | MapREGISTRATION LINK\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.
