Due to the urgent demand for counter-IED equipment, ICE was designed and built within three weeks and was provided to troops in less than six months after the project started. [2] [3] ICE was designed to be adaptable to future adjustments in order to keep up with changing IED technology. [4]
Counter-IED equipment are created primarily for military and law enforcement. They are used for standoff detection of explosives and explosive precursor components and defeating the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) devices themselves as part of a broader counter-terrorism , counter-insurgency , or law enforcement effort.
