The first Train the Trainers Battlefield Vehicle Forensics Course is underway in Sweden. The course, which has 15 participants from Member States, will complete on Friday.
Being held at the facilities of Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) in Karlsborg, Sweden, the course takes place under the umbrella of the European Defence Agency’s (EDA) C-IED Training and Education initiative.
The aim of the BVF course is to enrich the skills of operators responsible for the examination of a vehicle having been damaged/destroyed due to an IED attack.
The course concentrates on collecting and processing all identifying marks (ie. data plates), as well as evidence photographing and documentation recording: Vehicles are thoroughly searched for weapon signatures, weapon fragments, spall or behind armour debris.
Additionally, damages are documented, and collected fragments are measured and photographed in accordance with accepted forensic collection standards. BVF is strictly a forensic collection activity to support technical analysis. A large number of post blast exploitation practices are planned for duration of the course.
