During the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the devices provided by JIEDDO only found 50% of IED explosives, while the success rate in trained dogs was 80%.

According to JIEDDO scientists, there are more and more bombs and mines in the Afghan battlefield. Dogs trained to find explosives can quickly detect the location of mines and ERW.

When detecting a location with mines and ERW, these dogs will kneel and broadcast signals to help soldiers avoid the road of bombs and mines.

From the Second World War, dogs trained to search for mines and bombs began to be employed in the US military at the battlefield.
