Abstract

As expressed in the original 2008 report, Research Challenges in Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the United States, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are generally easy to develop, difficult to combat, and cause disproportionate physical and psychological harm. In an updated report, NCITE outlines 10 challenge areas in which concentrated research can be most effective in combating IED use in the homeland. Below are key ways science and technology research can address each of these challenge areas.
