Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the U.S.
So what?
In 2008, the federal government published Research Challenges in Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the U.S., and it has served as a landmark publication in the field ever since. As the world has changed, so has the challenge of tackling improvised explosive devices in a holistic way.
Project Summary
This project will identify priorities for countering improvised explosive devices (IEDs) through applied scientific efforts amid an ever-changing and dynamic threat environment.
Purpose/Objectives
This project updates a 15-year-old report about research challenges in combating IEDs to help determine priorities for creating counter-IED measures in the next decade. It will be an updated, unclassified report to reflect how the IED threat has changed and how the federal and local governments need to counter that threat.
Method
The NCITE project team will conduct a systematic review of the literature on IEDs and counter-IED approaches to disseminate to stakeholders including academics and practitioners. NCITE will lead a subject matter expert stakeholder group, lead an interagency workshop, and produce the updated report.
