EZ-K9eStand-off IED Detection System
Creating an entirely new capability to defeat IED threats in
urban areas and open terrain
Benefits
EZ-K9e is a detection system used to detect concealed IEDs
EZ-K9e enables the EOD team to quickly find and locate IEDs from
a standoff position, with pin-point accuracy, without exposing the
team to life-threatening risks
EZ-K9e allows operation in suspicious open terrain and urban
areas
Can be mounted on any Man-Transportable Robotic System (MTRS)
and small engineering platforms
For dismounted operations man-portable, hand-held configuration
is available
The IED Threat Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) are a
worldwide threat that has caused an increasing number of
casualties, with a strategic impact on decision makers.
Since the IED is a low-cost, yet lethal weapon (causing
casualties and demoralizing troops and civilians), its use poses a
significant challenge to security forces, law-enforcement personnel
and first responders dealing with insurgents, terrorists and
criminal groups.
The Solution To effectively counter the IED threat, Rafael has
developed the EZ-K9e IED Detection System in a compact,
light-weight package which can easily be adapted to various
configurations to suit the demands of the operational environment.
EZ-K9e is a product of Rafael’s expertise and extensive research
&
development efforts in the domain of Counter IED’s. This has
resulted in a range of IED detection and neutralization products to
support EOD teams or other forces, and to provide freedom of
operation with enhance survivability. The IED detection is based on
a microwave effector that enables non-line-of-sight detection and
localization from a standoff distance. The detection system has
been mounted on a variety of Man Transportable Robotic Systems.
In addition, the system can be installed as an add-on package on
other types of combat-engineering platforms. For dismounted forces,
the same detection system is available in a man-portable
configuration.

(OCU) of the robotic platform.
Thus, the operator steers the EZ-K9e system towards a
potentially suspected arena (outdoors / indoors) and starts the
scanning procedure from a safe stand-off position.
For dismounted forces where a man-portable solution is
preferred, the entire system can be provided in a hand-held
configuration.

EZ-K9e General Description
The EZ-K9e enables the EOD team to quickly detect IEDs with
pin-point accuracy. This is achieved without requiring direct
line-of-sight to the target and without exposing the team to
life-threatening risks.
The entire detection system can easily be mounted on remote
controlled robotic platforms.
The detection display and the operator controls are integrated
into the Operator Control Unit
EZ-K9e installed on iRobot PackBots
