Selected aspects of effective RCIED jamming

In recent years it is observed an increasing number of attacks on convoy and military vehicles with the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). It is difficult to counter these threats because explosive devices are detonated using varied, often non-standard methods. Bombs are fashioned from easily obtained materials and with continually developed detonator technologies. One of the popular technique of detonation is triggering explosion by radio signals. These devices are called radio controlled IED (RCIED). In this article were presented various aspects which influence on effectiveness RCIED countermeasure system. At the beginning an brief overview of the IED techniques and technologies were mentioned. Then basic jamming principles and specific to RCIED aspects were discussed. Taking into consideration this problems and limitations, own RCIED jamming system conception was also described. At the end an analysis of capability of planned system and short summary was presented.
