Abstract
In Today’s unipolar word IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is the most dreaded and effective weapon in the hands of terrorists. IEDs are feared by armed forces, Law enforcing authorities and elected Governments. They destroy vehicles, kills armed forces and innocent citizens. IEDs pose threat to global security, sustainable development and human rights. IEDs are very cheap to make but most difficult and expensive to detect and prevent explosion. It is practically found that the ground based vehicle mounted jammers do not provide full protection to lengthy moving convoys on bumpy hilly terrain with hairpin bends. This paper dwells on the shortcomings of present day ground based jammers. Smart jammers mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are proposed to prevent the triggering of IED by the terrorist. This takes care of signal nulls due to fading and multipath. Smart jammers on UAVs are proposed to protect crowded sport arenas.
