Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO)

The Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO) is a U.S. government entity responsible for identifying, analyzing, and developing solutions to improve defenses against improvised threats, such as roadside bombs and hidden weapons. Its goal is to support military, law enforcement, and partner forces by providing technical expertise, advanced detection tools, and strategic intelligence to prevent and mitigate dangerous, unpredictable threats posed by insurgents and terrorists. JIDO works collaboratively across agencies to enhance safety and operational effectiveness in complex and evolving conflict environments.
