Abstract

Improvizirane eksplozivne naprave (IEN) namijenjene su za uništavanje, onesposobljavanje i
uznemiravanje neprijatelja. Iako je PIRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) pionir u
korištenju IEN, najpoznatiji korisnici su ipak terorističke skupine srednjeg istoka koje su IEN
uvelike koristile protiv NATO snaga i lokalnih organa vlasti. Najčešće se izrađuje od priručnih
sredstava i jednostavnih sklopova, a za eksplozivno punjenje se koriste različite vrste eksploziva
i pirotehničkih sredstava. Vrlo česta pojava je da se pri izradi IEN-a koriste gospodarski
eksplozivi. U radu su prikazana ispitivanja učinkovitosti IEN-a jednostavne konstrukcije s
eksplozivnim punjenjem od ANFO eksploziva.

Abstract (english)

IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is a device designed for destruction, disabling, and
disturbing enemies. It is commonly made from improvised materials and simple components.
Although PIRA is pioneer in use of IED, the most well-known users are terrorist groups from the
Middle East, who extensively employed IED against NATO forces and local authorities.
Most often, it is made from hand tools and simple circuits, and different types of explosives and
pyrotechnics are used for explosive charging. It is a very common phenomenon that commercial
explosives (explosives for civil uses) are used in the production of IEN. The paper presents tests
of the efficiency of the IEN of a simple construction with an explosive charge made of ANFO
explosives.
