PROJECT BRIEF

For more than 15 years, Raven’s Challenge has educated, trained and certified thousands of military and public safety bomb squad personnel.

Funded by the Department of the Army and led by ATF, Raven’s Challenge continues to identify emerging threats, whether they come from above ground… or below. We are prepared.

During the weeklong training, the nation’s top EOD instructors promote teamwork, innovation and free-play in a no-fault, live-fire environment.

New this year was a focus on subterranean EOD Operations. These exercises were held in confined spaces in complete darkness with limited air circulation. By adding these variables to the training, Raven’s Challenge continues to pride itself in offering unmatched EOD training that drives adaptation, innovation, cooperation and interoperability.

By using hands-on training and encouraging seamless interoperability, Ravens Challenge creates realistic training exercises to prepare all levels of EOD units for every possible challenge and scenario.

Combining technology in these locations with full-scale interoperability creates an unmatched training environment designed to help the world’s best EOD Soldiers & Bomb Technicians to become even better.

Raven’s Challenge comprehensive and immersive training is one of the most sought-after EOD training programs in the world.
