XBomb Modified Trailers (XBomb) was derived from the Small Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Integrity Veterans Solutions LLC. XBomb is focused on the customization of specialized trailers, upfitting with critical components, and emergency logistical support associated with various Agency missions. The diversity of XBomb’s equipment for emergency Readiness, Response, and Recovery (R3) missions, sets us apart from industry competition. Leading providers of comparable products and services have been highly competitive for many years which has led to unnecessary and expensive features, which do not improve R3. XBomb’s founder has identified the disconnects between the manufactures and the end users is a world of knowledge associated with the development of products, the foresight to call for necessary features, and the time it takes to see the project through.
​
XBomb’s target market sustains a determined focus on preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural and man-made disasters. Often referred to as “Heros,” our Emergency Responders put their mental, physical, and familial health on the line every time they go to work. Without the genetic makeup necessary to yield selfless individuals who are willing to waive their personal life expectancy to help others, humanity as we know it, would not be. Responders are not always provided the tools they need to accomplish their individual missions. Far too often these missions do not experience success due to the departmentalization of Governmental checks and balances. XBomb asks the question, what can we do to improve the lives of those who put it on the line every day.?
XBomb addresses the needs of our most at risk populations and those tasked with providing care for these individuals during emergency situations.

If you have never seen one in real life, you could be considered fortunate but you have certainly seen one on television. Mobile Command Vehicles (MCV) or trailers are perhaps the coolest looking equipment in the world of emergency management.
​
As the world is falling apart and people are scattered throughout the streets screaming and searching for loved ones, you can see smoke rising on the horizon and the sound of helicopters almost blocks out the sound of our hero and star of our film arriving in a futuristic looking mammoth vehicle crowned with an array of antennas and satellite dishes. Emblazoned across the side of the vehicle are the words: MOBILE COMMAND.
​
Somehow, you know everything is going to be okay.
​
Yep. That’s the “glory story” and you see it all the time in movies. What you don’t see is the blood, sweat and tears that go into designing and planning to make that motorized beast what it is. What you can’t comprehend is the hundreds if not thousands of hours that went into creating a vehicle that would really work when the world was falling apart.
​
Mobile command vehicles are deployed in real life to improve or reestablish communication and coordination during emergency incidents and special security events nationwide. The mobile command vehicles leverage satellite and internet access, as well as interoperable radios and video capabilities to improve communication between government assets and other federal and local response and support assets.
​
When it comes to the Feds, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), Federal Protective Service (FPS) is responsible for protecting property owned, occupied and secured by the U.S. Government as well as the people on that property. The Mobile Command Vehicle (MCV) program supports the Federal mission through the provision of mobile, on-site platforms for command, control and communications during terrorist attacks, natural disasters,
National Special Security Events and other similar occurrences. The MCVs can rapidly deploy to any location in the continental United States where the communications infrastructure is inadequate or has been disrupted, or where enhanced interoperability among law enforcement agencies is needed.
​
Incident management in the nation’s current threat environment requires mobility, interoperability among public safety agencies, reliability and cost effectiveness. Mobile Command Vehicles meet this need.
MCVs can support daily operations as well as special deployments of the FPS Crisis Response Teams and other organizational elements. These highly specialized vehicles augment the capabilities of the Fed’s dispatch and call centers, known as MegaCenters, by allowing them to remotely dispatch units and link different radio systems together without the need to actually send personnel to the scene. Each MCV also provides an environmentally controlled platform for on-scene command and control functions, with small conferencing areas, video-teleconferencing, data analysis and processing, and information acquisition and management for situational awareness and common operating picture development.
​
Now, when the situation is more localized such as a major tornado in a city or a massive flood or hurricane, the MCV can be seen operated by agencies such as a Sheriff’s office, police department, fire department, county government, State police and others. Each of these MCV’s is different, supporting a different role in response. Each vehicle or trailer has to be designed by the people that will use the vehicle and by specialists with years of experience in response so that no detail is overlooked.
​
One cannot simply go to an RV dealer and order a command vehicle. Each vehicle must be as “smart” as possible and designed with it’s future environment in mind which takes the heart and mind and soul of true emergency managers.
​
Do we want to sleep in it? Do we want desks? Can we design a desk that becomes a bed? We need monitors but can they be stowed away? How do monitor the outside from the inside? Will we need to prepare food in our vehicle? What is the worst environment this vehicle could encounter and how do we design the vehicle for that?
​
At XBomb we have that heart, mind and soul. Aside from just being designers, XBomb creates a collaborate team for each build that includes specialists in different fields of response as well as emergency management personnel that can lend insight into the design and execution of the building plans. We strive to partner with vendors that don’t just specialize in the “cool stuff” like emergency lighting but in the realms of communications, software, electronics, security, finishes, shelters, tools, portable response kits and much more.
​
It all sounds like a lot of work because it is, but we guarantee that a well-thought out design that has been created with budget, efficiency, effectiveness and quality in mind can change the way you play the game.
