VEHICLE BORNE IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE (VBIED): PREPAREDNESS, RECOGNITION, AND RESPONSE Te. rorists may pursue efforts to use VBIEDs to conduct mass-casualty attacks in the Homeland. We base this assessment on interest communicated via online platforms.

A car bomb, bus bomb, van bomb, lorry bomb, or truck bomb, also known as a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), [1] is an improvised explosive device designed to be detonated in an automobile or other vehicles.

This Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) Identification Card provides information to help recognize potential indicators of a suspicious parked vehicle. It details steps to take if the vehicle is suspicious or if it is not suspicious.

Over the last two decades, terrorists have used VBIED tactics (sometimes in sophisticated simultaneous attacks) to target global suppliers of critical resources and U.S. interests around the world.

Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs) pose complex security challenges for all sectors. To reduce vulnerabilities from a VBIED, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) recommends the protective measures listed below.

The Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) Detection Course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to inspect for, identify, and/or respond to vehicle-borne explosive threats successfully and safely.
