By GlobalData”Our focus on high-growth market areas like integrated security solutions has been essential to sustaining our business with the JIEDDO,” Asbury said.
The JET supports JIEDDO across three lines of operations, which include attacking the network, defeating the device, as well as training the force.
Specifically, the JET advisors help and mentor units conducting offensive operations to proactively detect, disrupt and destroy IED networks, and also integrate and employ materiel and non-materiel solutions to detect and neutralise IEDs or alliterate their effects.
Established in February 2006, the JIEDDO is a jointly operated organisation of the DoD, working to reduce or eliminate the effects of all forms of IEDs used against the US and coalition forces on the battlefield.
