Counter IED
Hyperion Defence Solutions understands the importance of delivering effective Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) solutions to our clients across defence and civilian public safety agencies. We are committed to the protection of Explosive Ordnance (EO) operators, the security and civil defence organisations they assist, and the civilian population as a whole by providing our clients with the capability they need to defeat any IED system(s) they face.
Hyperion provides our customers with an offering which may vary from a fully integrated C-IED solution to the delivery of bespoke elements tailored to fit a specific requirement. Using the NATO Allied Joint Doctrine for Countering Improvised Explosive Devices as the framework, our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) – who have decades of Counter EO experience in operational theatres such as Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan – will work alongside you to fully understand the situation and advise you on the equipment, procedures, training, and doctrine that should make up your C-IED solution.
C-IED Activities
Understand
Prepare the Force
Preparing the force comprises all the measures required to enable friendly forces to accomplish their mission under a permanent IED threat. Hyperion Defence Solutions can support our clients in all aspects of force preparation which includes the process of manning, equipping, training, and educating as required.
Needs Analysis: Our team of SMEs will support you by conducting a needs analysis of your current C-IED system against the most suitable capability integration principles (i.e. UK DLOD, US JCIDS or Australian FICs) based on a detailed understanding of the operating environment and associated threat. The output of this service will be a series of recommendations that, if followed, will ensure you have a C-IED system in place that meets your specific needs. It will also provide you with a change plan to get you from your current situation to the desired end state which, if required, Hyperion can assist you in executing.

Attack the Network
A network is an interconnected human and/or material node that may be identified, isolated, or engaged. The capabilities of an IED system are carried out by networks, which include all the persons involved, the links and relations between them and their resources. Attacking these networks involves isolating the component parts and effectively engaging them.
Hyperion Defence Solutions offers the following products for attacking adversary IED networks:
