Improvised Explosive Device (IED) has been one of the primary concerns of the military. U.S. Defense Department has challenged the experts in the industry, the military, the national laboratories and even the acedemia to destroy the terrorists’ latest deadly weapons. The Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization has organized a conference, which was designed to come up with better solutions in confronting IED problems.

The goals of the conference were directed to three areas: attack the network; defeat the device; and, train the force. Apparently, there were about 750 participants who are willing to pitch in their expertise on the matter.

Defense Department officials said that IEDs have already killed almost half of all casualties in Iraq, and nearly 30% of the casualties in Afghanistan.

Most of the conference sessions advocate information that helps in coming up with the most plausible solutions,. The assembly also intends to decrease redundancy of effort, as well as to hone or cross out actions that have been already taken.
