An improvised explosive device (IED) is a device placed or
fabricated in an improvised manner, which incorporates destruc-

distract. It may incorporate military stores, but is normally
constructed from non-military components. IEDs are weapons
designed to cause as much damage as possible and usually
employed on military conflicts or terrorist activities worldwide.
Unfortunately, during the last years the use of IEDs against civilian
populations has been intensely increased [1,2]. This fact can be due

detailed text and even videos of free access on Internet explaining
their preparation. Consequently, their use is quickly spread and the
information related to their development and improvements is
also published on Internet.
Since these types of weapons are built in an improvised manner
and with the aim to be camouflaged in different environments,
