Abstract

The project "Threat analysis IED" was started in January 2006 and is financed through the so called Strategic Research Cores. The main purpose of this project is to establish basic knowledge regarding the various types of IED's that occur in connection with international military operations and assess the corresponding threat from a weapon effect perspective. This knowledge can be used to determine the consequences for vehicles and personnel that become exposed to an IED attack. In this report an overview of IED's is given, focus is on the types that can be found and their corresponding weapon effect. The report also presents the activities carried out within the project during the year 2006.
