1. An IED defense system for forcing premature detonation of IEDs having a triggering mechanism responsive to laser energy signals in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the IED defense system comprising:

  • one or more laser energy platforms including lasers for radiating laser beams in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum; and

    one or more controllers for activating the platforms to radiate the laser beams within a zone defining an IED detonation zone, thereby forcing premature detonation of IEDs having a triggering mechanism responsive to laser energy in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum within the IED detonation zone.
