Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's) have been used by terrorists in numerous attacks over the years and remain as a weapon of strategic influence and a formidable threat to world security. They are easy to make, difficult to defeat, and can cause large-scale death and destruction. This international symposium and exposition will provide a forum for representatives from around the world as well as U.S. federal, state, and local governments, working with the private sector - industry, academia, and laboratories - to address key issues and critical mission needs in support of IED defeat and prevention. This includes collaboration ranging from explosives at airports, radiological materials used for "dirty bombs," protection of critical infrastructure, and advancing research and technology to prevent IEDs, to sharing information with international, coalition, federal, state, and local partners.
In conjunction with the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Defense and the US Intelligence Community, the Government Emerging Technology Alliance (GETA) and the Interagency Council for Applied Homeland Security Technology (ICAHST) are sponsoring this event which will focus on:
- The International Threat
- The War Effort
- Protection of the Homeland
- Exhibition and Technology Demonstration
