1. Executive Summary

This report, The Counter-IED Market 2011-2021: Systems and Technologies for Force Protection,

analyses the market for counter-IED systems at the global level and in 10 leading national markets. It

finds that the counter-IED market is in decline from previous high levels but it will still see significant

spending despite defence cuts in many countries. This report classifies counter-IED systems in four

submarkets: mine-resistant vehicles, electronic countermeasures or jammers, detection and disposal

systems, and unmanned systems intended for the purpose.

This report covers the forecast period of 2011-2021, with 2010 as the base year.

1.1 Key Drivers and Restraints The key drivers to the counter-IED market include the recognition that IEDs are extensively and

effectively employed by insurgent groups, the continued prioritisation of spending on systems that

combat the IED threat, the effectiveness of some counter-IED systems in reducing casualties and the

massive demand from the US that will continue at least through the next few years which will be

sustained at more moderate levels over the decade.

Among the possible restraints of the counter-IED market are threats posed by defence spending cuts

in many countries, the planned withdrawal of US-led coalition from Afghanistan and sooner in Iraq

which could dampen demand for such systems, a possible saturation of the market, and the reluctance

of some nations to heavily invest in counter-IED systems beyond those intended for a small part of

their armed forces.

6. Expert Opinion 6.1 NIITEK – Juan Navarro, President

NIITEK (Non-Intrusive Inspection Technology Inc) produces ground-penetrating radar (GPR) used to

detect buried improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and mines. Mr Juan Navarro is the president of

NIITEK. The company’s GPR is installed in the Husky Mounted Detection Systems (HMDS) used by

the US military, which it has deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and also by the Canadian Forces. GPR

is also undergoing development for use with small robots or unmanned ground vehicles. NIITEK,

based in Virginia, USA, is part of UK-based Chemring Group Plc. Visiongain interviewed Mr Navarro

by telephone in October 2011 and we are grateful for his contribution.

6.1.1 Impact of Defence Spending Cuts on Counter-IED Market Visiongain: Given the recent defence spending cuts, particularly in North America and Europe, what

would be the impact on the demand for counter-IED systems?

NIITEK’s Juan Navarro: I think there’s still a requirement to have technology to locate and identify

IEDs so I don’t see any significant cut on counter-IED spending. Everybody’s going to take some cut

but the counter-IED technology is of foremost importance. For example, JIEDDO (the US Joint IED

Defeat Organisation) is still being funded for over $2bn. If you think about that, although JIEDDO was

at $4bn when they were in both Iraq and Afghanistan, they’re still getting over $2bn. That’s an indicator

that the US Department of Defence (DoD) is still very focused on this counter-IED problem.

6.1.2 Impact of Withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan on Counter-IED Systems Demand

Visiongain: With the imminent full withdrawal from Iraq and the planned withdrawal in a few years

from Afghanistan by US-led coalition forces, do you see a decline in counter-IED systems in the near

future?

NIITEK’s Juan Navarro: The technology for route clearance is becoming part of standard US Army

equipment so there’s not going to be immediate, quick surge-type requirement where you have to

ramp up and deliver. But there is a plan for a programme of record where the Army will buy significant
