BLASTING TECHNOLOGY FOR NEUTRALIZING IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
Abstract
An attack with a "improvised" explosive device (IED) is when someone uses a bomb and/or destructive device to cause damage, render someone helpless, harass, or divert attention. Terrorists, criminals, vandals, suicide bombers, and rebels all utilize IEDs. IEDs can take many different shapes because they are improvised; they can be as simple as a pipe bomb or as complex as a sophisticated weapon that can inflict significant damage and casualties. IEDs can be transported or carried in a car; they can also be delivered in a package; they can be delivered by a person; or they can be hidden by the side of the road. In the course of 2023, INSEMEX perfected, patented, and tested the liquid-jet neutralization device of the improvised explosive devices DNJLDEI (prototype for an improvised bombs neutralization device, Patented Request CBI OSIM nr. a/00178/11.04.2023), which has the potential to be a valuable tool for urban interventions against terrorist attack. In this paper was presented the liquid-jet neutralization device of the improvised explosive devices DNJLDEI (prototype for a neutralization device of improvised explosive bombs), which has the potential to be a valuable tool for urban interventions against the terrorist attack. Tests were carried out for the two improved variants of plastic containers, with measurements of the velocity of the projected liquid jet (water). The experimental test program of DNJLDEI included the final verification of functionality of new prototype of IED neutralization device, based on liquid-jet, the operational validation being performed upon a bomb briefcase, which was neutralised by accuracy destroying of detonator, without damages of explosive charge.
