Prevent, Detect, Disarm: Eliminating the IED Threat

Counter-IEDs 2012

What’s new?

Ever since Iraqi insurgents began using Improvised Explosive Devices in 2003, their deadly threat has been the primary cause of casualty for coalition troops.

Billions of dollars have been spent trying to mitigate against this threat and whole industries have sprung up to fill this massive capability gap.

Yet the insurgent is still using IEDs and remains one step ahead.

Now, with the campaign in Afghanistan over ten years old and IEDs still posing a very high level of threat, NATO militaries are looking to address the challenge differently.

Defeating the device is crucial but clearly something more is required.

This conference aims to provide a platform from which to discuss how efforts to detect and defeat the device are continuing, but also to look at how ISR assets and the ordinary soldier can play a crucial role in ATTACKING THE NETWORK.

C-IEDs 2012 will do the following:

  • Analyse the latest techniques and methodologies for using forensics and biometrics to attack the IED network at the root
  • Explore the latest techniques both for personnel selection and training to ensure that you have the most capable team to deal with any given threat
  • Enable further understanding of current efforts to increase success in detecting and defeating IEDs and how technology can be best exploited
  • Discuss how collaborative allied efforts will increase success in countering IED networks and lead to a pre-emptive approach to dealing with this threat
  • And, provide a dedicated forum for global C-IED officers and solution providers to benchmark TTPs, examine future tech developments and get a clear idea of what tools the military really needs to do the job
