Abstract
The present invention can be characterized as a trainer kit for a Colorimetric Reconnaissance Explosive Squad Screening ('CRESS') kit, which contains a control compound and a set of simulated explosive compositions ('SEC'). The control compound contains no explosive precursor, while each SEC is a combination of one or more explosive precursors that is to be detected by CRESS, and at least one non-explosive additive that reduces the kinetics of the explosive precursor. The SEC retains the colorimetric characteristics of the explosive precursor, but is stable in heat and non-hazardous.
