Drones Will Surpass IED Threat in Future Conflicts
By Daniel Gouré
February 08, 2018

The weapon system that personified the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and shaped the behavior of the U.S. military for almost fifteen years was the Improvised Explosive Device (IED). IEDs were responsible for approximately two-thirds of U.S. and Coalition casualties suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan. Civilian casualties from IEDs number in the tens of thousands.

I've been curious about what anti-drone systems we have.

My feelings too.  Drones may reduce IED by replacing IED as a killing mechanism.
