Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has started to test its new system, called Counter Improvised Explosive Device and Mine Suite mobile system, which is expected to make a "breakthrough" in the fight against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) actively used by terrorists, media reported.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The new system, which is not yet operational, is capable of detecting both surface and underground IEDs, mines, and bombs, The Jerusalem Post newspaper said Thursday.

"[It] is a new concept that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. It is a breakthrough technology against IEDs… when it detects an IED it automatically informs the troops making it so that a soldier does not need to exit the vehicle," project manager Reuven Y. said as quoted by the media outlet.

The system can be installed on a number of combat and unmanned vehicles, and it is capable of operating in different weather conditions.

IAI plans to sell these systems to Israel Defense Forces, as well as foreign customers that also have to deal with IEDs used by terrorists.
