The TFD system includes the TFD kit (MR27), the TFD blasting demo accessory kit (MR28), and the RSI-1586-01 Plastic Encapsulated Detonator or Low Energy Exploding Foil Initiator (LEEFI) (MR29). The Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), five-year, Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) supply contract. The estimated value of this procurement is approximately $31,000,000. The TFD is a compact, lightweight, precision electronic device engineered for the initiation of a broad spectrum of explosives. It can be rapidly adapted to a wide variety of standard and improvised demolition charge configurations using the provided adapters. Additionally, the TFD provides versatile activation timing through pre-set fixed delays of 30 seconds, 3 minutes, and 10 minutes, selectable via a rotary switch. For extended or custom-timed missions, the TFD can be programmed with delays of up to 24 hours using a PC or Android application, ensuring functionality even in communications-denied environments. The system is compatible with both single-use LEEFI and a reusable Shock Tube Initiator Chip, and it features a dedicated training mode with audio-visual feedback. Its robust, waterproof construction allows for full underwater capability.
