Abstract

The Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) are one of the most sig- nificant IED-threats in the region of southern Afghanistan. Since I began my military service in ISAF I have recognized that the occurrence of RCIED threats have been increasing continuously since 2008. My survey will provide a short overlook of these types of threats, furthermore my aim is to show the common manner of RCIED’s fre- quency-use and the insurgent’s “favourite” devices and bandwidths (frequency-bands) to help avoid serious damage to the Hungarian military servicemen, vehicles and mili- tary compounds in the theatre. I am sure that the knowledge of commonly used RCIED- types will help to the Hungarian Special Operations Forces units (HUNSOTUs) to learn the insurgent’s (Taliban) tactics, techniques and procedures and overpass many of their IED-systems.

Highlights

  • The radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices’ threat in Afghanistan has changed little technically since late 2006

  • Despite some complex Improvised Explosive Device (IED) having already been used, it seems that homemade systems remain predominant

  • If the 45 countries composing the ISAF provide a higher interest in operations planning against radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices’ (rCIED) use the knowledge of spider frequencies and jammer capability, there might be efficient and reliable methods to better protect ISAF troops
