IMPROVISED DEVICE DEFEAT (IDD)
Abstract
The IDD/EC Subgroup’s objective is to deliver capability to defeat and neutralize the full spectrum of terrorist explosive devices. IDD/EC improves the operational capabilities of federal, state, and local bomb squads and the U.S. military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community delivers by developing and delivering advanced technologies, tools, and information to defeat explosive devices. In collaboration with military, federal, state, and local agencies, the IDD/EC Subgroup identifies and prioritizes multi-agency user requirements through joint working groups. IDD/EC then actively works with vendors and end-users to deliver advanced prototype systems that provide more efficiency and greater safety for Bomb Technicians to investigate, access, evaluate, and if needed render safe or dispose of suspect devices whether emplaced, person borne, vehicle borne or water borne. The Subgroup supports the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 19 – Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the United States and the National Strategic Plan for Bomb Squads.
