With 38 people in attendance, we were some what surprised to see how much interest this niche subject generated within the community.Edd Dunkin gave a great talk introducing the different types of EED, examples of their use both military (space craft) and civil applications (airbags), how we ensure they work in RF environments where they are in use and how to prevent failure which could lead to injury and/or death (USS Foresstal example). Different test methods were explained along with the different standards and the huge benefits of passive trials via instrumented devices.
