Specialised Imaging, a global leader in high-speed imaging technology, has announced its latest in-person training course in collaboration with the internationally renowned Petr Explosive Group. The Explosives Engineering, Science & Technology (ES&T) short course will be held September 9–12, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, and is set to bring together Department of Defense personnel, industry professionals, and leading researchers working in the field of energetic materials.
This respected four-day course provides a comprehensive overview of explosive science and engineering fundamentals, with a particular emphasis on advanced diagnostic tools and imaging technologies. The ES&T short course has earned recognition for its rigorous curriculum and practical relevance, especially for professionals engaged in military, defense, and civilian explosive applications.
At the heart of the program is a full day dedicated to ultra-high-speed imaging, an area of increasing importance in both research and operational safety. According to Dr. Vilem Petr, founder of Petr Explosive Group and a pioneer in the field of explosives engineering, the inclusion of cutting-edge imaging techniques is vital to the next generation of explosive science professionals.
“In recent years we have welcomed many new scientists and engineers into the field,” “An entire day of our course is dedicated to informing participants how best to use high-speed imaging when undertaking research for military or civilian explosive applications. The course will address both the theory and hands-on practical aspects of the topics.”
Specialised Imaging’s involvement adds a crucial technological dimension to the program. Known for designing and manufacturing some of the world’s most advanced ultra-high-speed imaging systems, the UK-based company brings unmatched expertise to the instructional team.
Wai Chan, Managing Director of Specialised Imaging, underlined the company’s dedication to professional education and innovation:
“Our involvement in this training course reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing professional education in explosives engineering and related technologies,” said Chan. “Whether your focus is imaging systems or energetic materials, we look forward to welcoming you to Golden, Colorado this September.”
The course will be led by internationally recognized experts in explosive materials and high-speed diagnostics, and will blend academic rigor with applied engineering techniques. Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge of explosive phenomena, measurement strategies, safety protocols, and state-of-the-art imaging solutions—skills critical for modern defense and security environments.
