Interviews:
Armen Harutyunyan, Head of Standards and Operation at Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD), provides an update on his strategic vision for the organisation.
This includes its evolution, success factors, standards and innovations, and the trends from the past 5-10 years that have influenced its current line of effort.
An insightful interview with Harutyunyan, working within one of the most vital organisations on demining.
As new technologies hit the commercial market, there is always the potential for them to be abused for nefarious reasons. Combined with new tactics, this unfortunately ensures that the IED threat will continue to evolve.
To stay ahead of the curve the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Centre of Excellence endeavours to research and disseminate lessons and trends so that the threat can be better countered.
Defence IQ was privileged to interview the deputy director of the centre, Colonel Christopher Bartos.
