In the context of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the acronym PIES stands for Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch. These elements are crucial for understanding the construction and functionality of an IED. The power source provides energy, the initiator triggers the device, the explosive is the main destructive component, and the switch controls the activation of the device. Understanding PIES helps in identifying and mitigating IED threats.
