U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – A cadet brother team developed an electronic wire stabilization and cutting tool that could revolutionize explosive ordnance operations.
Military members are put at risk during explosive ordnance operations as they disarm improvised explosive devices. Cadets 1st Class Gunnar and Simon Gott’s project introduces additional tools for EOD technicians. It offers safer capabilities to approach IED situations to potentially reduce associated risks and hazards through remote operations. The brothers’ success is an example of the U.S. Air Force Academy’s mission of developing leaders of character who generate innovative and inspirational research to support warfighters. Both cadets are majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and their project could become the latest in a long line of Academy patents.
