IEDs

IEDs, or Improvised Explosive Devices, are homemade bombs created outside of traditional military or industrial settings. They often combine available materials like explosives, wiring, and containers to cause damage or injury. IEDs are used in guerrilla warfare, terrorism, and insurgency because they can be easily assembled, concealed, and deployed in various environments. Their simplicity and adaptability make them a significant security threat, as they can be triggered remotely, by pressure, or automatically. Efforts to detect and disable IEDs are crucial for protecting civilians and military personnel in conflict zones.
