About Our TeamThe Energetic Threats and Training Department, was formed in 2007 to serve the nation's need for energetic threat assessment/mitigation and specialized energetics training. 5915 serves customers from DoD, DOJ, DHS, NNSA, and other customers. The department works seamlessly with the Energetic Systems Research Department to ensure continued mission success. The department operates out of site 9940 and also performs work at Thunder Range. 5915 designs and fabricates credible, inert models of real devices that are used for training exercises by first responders. Additionally, the department performs large scale threat demonstrations in addition to developing mitigation solutions for those threats. Many of the training events are conducted at Sandia and require the construction of realistic training venues, as well as, on site support for customers as they train.
