An aeration assembly includes an aeration rod extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end and having a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending along the longitudinal axis from the first end at least partially to the second end around at least a portion of a circumference of the aeration rod. The aeration assembly also includes an air-activated material adjacent the aeration rod at least along the plurality of longitudinal grooves. The plurality of longitudinal grooves are configured to distribute air from the first end of the aeration rod to the air-activated material adjacent the aeration rod.

Technologies for analyzing and deactivating an explosive device include electrically connecting an analysis device to a pair of trigger wires of the explosive device, performing a number of electrical measurements, and determining a deactivation action to be performed on the explosive device based on the electrical measurements (e.g., based on the calculated resistance between the trigger wires). In a disclosed embodiment, a primary lead of the analysis device is electrically coupled to a first trigger wire of the explosive device and a pair of secondary leads are each electrically coupled to a second trigger wire of the explosive device. The analysis device measures a voltage between the primary lead and at least one of the secondary leads. The analysis device also measures a current flowing through the secondary leads after a link of trigger wire extending between the leads has been cut or broken. The analysis device determines the deactivation action by determining a resistance of the analysis device based on the measured voltage and current. The deactivation action may include applying shunt to the trigger wires or cutting one or more trigger wires.
