Conceptual Review of Detection Representation Techniques for Magnetic IEDs

Vehicles have always been a concern for companies or individuals involved in compound security businesses. However, given the recent conflicts, a more challenging type of threat has emerged that has affected the owners of the vehicles themselves. It is defined as magnetic IED and usually adhered to vehicle undercarriages. Given its concealable nature and unpredictable strikes, it remains an under-addressed threat. This paper presents two techniques and their design methods to help bridge some gaps found in existing works granting ideal systematic testing feasibility for magnetic field sensors. The techniques allow visualizing the sensors' extent of detection along with mathematical representation. Ultimately, the outcome of this paper serves as a guideline for future related projects, which adopt the attempts of developing low-cost detection systems employing magnetic field sensors that promote portability and automated detection.
