India develops electronic device to counter radio controlled bombs

[oFFbEAT]

Need to bring down cost and give it to forces working in Naxalite region.

Can be exported to US too which has IEDs as leading cause of soldiers' death.

The above tech. works on 'electromagnetic signals'....it prevents explosion....and I guess.....we have already exported an explosive detection tech. to US which works on chemical reaction....

India's DRDO launches explosive detection kit in US - Sci/Tech - DNA

And what about security forces being killed by naxals on a weekly basis??? Most of them are caused by IEDs.

Taliban uses IED too.

Preparing for post 2014.

Like our worthy politicians? Jeeez! This one's not for protecting ordinary mortals like you and I.

Ya.. on top of Z+ security for the likes of Sajjan Kumar!

It will also mess with other devices. Hence not used by other nations.

Is there a way to block hostile signals and let friendly ones pass?

did you just pull that out of your A___. because the US deploys many of such similar technologies in Afghanistan.

Like our worthy politicians?

Actually our Holy Neta log should be made to volunteer for testing such devices and see if the device actually works.

I think given the technological advancement of the US....they would have thought of jammers to counter IEDs a long time ago....Afghan/Iraqi IEDs are not radio controlled...they are pressure sensetive(like mines)....

Been done long time ago since the urgency in Iraq and Afghanistan. And as you said mines and wired IEDs are something that can counter jamming. However there are cons, with wire, it leads to position. And mines are unpredictable killing random people and not troops. To counter mines theres mine rollers to detonate them before it hits a vehicle. But the most important of all is human intel. Have people warning troops that there is danger ahead.

Forgot to mention there is development on ground penetrating sensor to detect IEDs ahead. Just waiting for technology to mature.

If you put it that way, then yes. I did pull it out of my *** full of common sense. Try doing a bit of research before having your news papers declare winning the war on radio controlled bombs. Pakistan has also successfully deployed the tech for cell based IED's. Its called shutting down phone service for everyone.
