improvised explosive devices (IEDs)

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are homemade bombs that can be made from readily available materials. Often used in conflict zones, they are designed to cause harm to people and equipment, typically by detonating when triggered by a timer, remote control, or when someone approaches. IEDs can vary greatly in size and complexity, making them a versatile threat. Their unpredictable nature has made them a significant concern for military and security forces worldwide, as they pose risks to civilians and military personnel alike. Efforts to detect and neutralize IEDs are crucial in safeguarding lives in affected areas.
