BLAST PROTECTION

摘要

The Improvised Explosive Device (IED) has become synonymous with modern warfare, giving asymmetric forces a deadly tool that can strip away the technological advantages of an opposing force. These often rudimentary devices can cause significant casualties, limit movement, decrease tempo during operations, and sap morale of units. The effect of the IED goes far beyond the blast alone, meaning countering such devices is a high priority during operations.
