## What is EXPLOSIM Companion App?

The ExploSim Companion App is used to plan scenarios for the ExploSim system by Layer 3 Services.  ExploSim shows the real-world, real-time effects of an explosion without damaging buildings or killing people.  The system provides a safe emulation of blast and fragmentation effects using radio frequency energy. ExploSim is designed to train: Bomb Technicians, EOD Operators, Search and Assault teams, First Responders, Building Marshals and Wardens, Security and Emergency Managers and consulting engineers.  The user can select from 25 explosives and from 0.1 to 22,000 kg (~2 to 44,000 pounds).  When the system is triggered, the receivers show, via LEDs, if they are in range of lethal blast, blast injury, fragmentation injury and significant structural damage.

This companion app provides the following functionality:

- Ability to determine the expected blast and fragmentation effects for the selected type and quantity of explosives.  The difference between the calculated distances and the indication on the receivers reflects the influence of the real-world built and natural environments. 
- Ability to plan scenarios for testing bomb related emergency procedures and plans.
- Ability to plan bomb disposal training scenarios.
