"Electronic Device Detector"
The HAWK 450XD "Electronic Device Detector" is widely used in EOD search operations to detect hidden electronic devices such as remotely activated receivers, timing and power units of improvised explosive devices, regardless of whether the device is radiating, hard-wired or turned off.
The XD is used by Security Managers, Professional Sweep Teams, State Security Departments, EOD Search Teams, Police Forces and Counter-Intelligence Agencies. The device is currently in operational service with NATO, USA Army & UK MoD organisations.
Examples of devices detected are attachments to telephone or mains cables, receivers which activate explosive devices, transmitters of all types, tape recorders, hidden cameras, wired electric microphone systems, electronic timing devices, remotely activated receivers, timing and power units of improvised explosive devices.
The HAWK 450XD is currently being trailed by prison services as a search tool for locating cellular phones hidden in prison cells. Unlike conventional cellular detectors the HAWK 450XD will detect and locate cell phones even when switched off.
User Benefits
The 450XD gives both visible and audible alerts when there is a positive detection, is battery powered, weighs less than 2kg and is simple to operate.
The HAWK provides the following features
- Robust, light weight, fibre glass and carbon design, operational weight less than 2kg
- Continuous wave transmission (CW) reduces the risk of missing a threat, CW is also the preferred method in EOD applications
- Highly sensitive receivers with excellent signal-to-noise ratio
- High transmit power, variable from 2mW up to 1W (2 and 4W options)
- Balanced, ergonomic design with integrated display module
- Unique 4-way thumb control, placed conveniently on display screen, for most commonly used functions
- 4 selectable operating frequencies to avoid possible interference from local transmissions
- Circular polarized antenna removes risk of missing a threat due to incorrect polarization
- Revolutionary design, "all in one" single body unit with
option of antenna separated from control module
