IED Countermeasure Equipment (ICE): In the fall of 2004, the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and New Mexico State University's Physical Science Laboratory developed a jamming system that uses low-power radio frequency energy to block the radio signals that detonate enemy IEDs.
Equipment used in Counter-IED efforts consists of robots, soldier worn protection, specialized counter-IED vehicles, electronic and other countermeasures, detection systems, and unmanned systems intended for counter-IED.

However, by 2010, newer IEDs began to use high-powered radio waves from coalition jammers instead of heat signatures to set off the EFP as a countermeasure against Rhino II. [5] As of June 2018, more than 34,000 Rhino gadgets have been deployed to U.S. troops overseas.
The THOR III is man-portable, counter-radio-controlled improvised explosive device (IED) jammer built by Sierra Nevada Corp, designed to counter specifically Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED). [2] It was employed by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and partnered Afghan National Army soldiers in Afghanistan.
The Husky VMMD can help operators detect land mines, and improvised explosive devices using basic sensor equipment, and imaging systems. The Husky is equipped with countermeasures like jamming systems in an attempt to help disrupt the effect of IEDs. [1] The Husky's armour is also able to withstand damage from basic explosives.
A 28-year-old man was arrested and charged after authorities discovered "improvised explosive devices in a makeshift laboratory" at his Philadelphia home, officials announced on Wednesday.
