	Inert Explosive, Simulated Explosive, Dummy Explosive Devices, Explosive Training Devices, Simulated Bomb
		Explosive Training Devices are replicated from known threats and/or anticipated new threats.
		Devices are as simple as a letter bomb or as complex as a chemical spray device with a built-in self-destruct system.
		*Devices are both realistic and fully functional with the exception of the inert explosives/agent.

	Exploding into Space: Explosive Ordnance for Space Systems
		Explosive ordnance in the space systems industry is defined as any component or assembly on a spacecraft or launch vehicle that contains or is operated by explosive materials.
		The space industry continues to enhance its understanding of the physics of explosive ordnance applications, and new approaches continually replace older designs; nevertheless, the primary cause of failures continues to be a lack of knowledge of performance characteristics and inappropriate corrective actions based on misunderstandings about the physics underlying the operation of these devices.
		After initiation of the explosive, the chevron expands until the concave side (bottom side in the graphic) turns inside out to form a metal plume (jet) that is extruded outward toward the target plate, penetrating and severing it.

	EXPLOSIVE FORCES OF IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
		Explosives are substances that, through chemical reaction, rapidly and violently change to gas, accompanied by high temperatures, extreme shock and a loud noise.
		Explosives are classified as low or high according to the detonating velocity or speed at which this change takes place and other pertinent characteristics such as their shattering effect.
		When an explosive is detonated, the block or stick of chemical explosive material is instantaneously converted from a solid into a rapidly expanding mass of gasses.

	USDOJ/OIG FBI Labs Report
		Whitehurst alleges that he compared the explosive material in the main charge of the Bush device to explosive materials in known Iraqi devices and told Explosives Unit Chief J. Christopher Ronay that the explosives were different.
		The results of chemical and physical analyses of the explosive main charge from the Kuwait car bomb are consistent with the presence of a moldable plastic bonded explosive composed of approximately 96% RDX explosive, 3% poly (vinyl-isobutyl ether) binder and 1% hydrocarbon oil (PE-4A).
		Neil Gallagher stated that the identification of the explosive material in the Bush device was not a critical issue because the FBI could not say that the explosive material was identical to that in other Iraqi devices.

	Improvised explosive device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An improvised explosive device (IED) is the formal name for explosive devices, often used in unconventional warfare or asymmetrical warfare by guerrillas or commando forces in a theater of operations.
		However, some groups have been known to produce sophisticated devices that are constructed with components scavenged from conventional munitions and standard consumer electronics components, such as mobile phones or garage door openers.
		Mostly the IED's used homemade explosives (HME), although the use of Semtex H smuggled in from Libya in the 1980's was also common in smaller devices.
