The Counter-IED Report is the leading international subscription-based publication covering the latest developments in the fight against the IED threat. The purpose of the Counter-IED Report is to identify technological advances, as well as strategies and tactics to counter threat networks, reduce IED production and placement, assist in post-conflict humanitarian demining, and capacity-building efforts worldwide. We are committed to providing up-to-date, first-hand expertise and facilitating information sharing among stakeholders, academia and industry. The magazine is published in print, e-book and PDF formats and distributed worldwide. The distribution is tailored to the highly engaged audience of Counter-IED, EOD, CBRNe, Defence, Law Enforcement, Humanitarian Demining and Security professionals and senior decision makers in government, public and private sectors.
