Past event: Defeating IEDs Training Workshops

Exhibition and Live Demonstrations

Defeating the global threat of Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is a priority to NATO and Allied nations, especially in theater of operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and other hotspots around the world. A Multinational CIED Initiative is needed more than ever, to establish a unified approach to defeat the Network, and to develop a comprehensive Doctrine and Performance-based C-IED Training.

This Years' event will be focused on developing a multinational training capability, Collecting, fusing, sharing and dissemination of actionable information to the troops in theatre. We will also examine the current countermeasures deployed in theater and the Future global IED threats

Case Study: Use of High Power Electromagnetic Radiation for Remote Detonation of Improvised Explosive Devices in Colombia

Colombia is the only country in the Western Hemisphere where the number of landmines is increasing. The type of landmines used in the irregular war of Colombia is of non-standard type and can be classified in terms of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The aim of this project is the design and development of a high power electromagnetic system to remotely destroy improvised explosive de- vices (IEDs). The system can also be used for testing of systems and components against Intentional Electromagnetic Interferences (IEMI).
