Distant_operated_IED [entity]
A improvised explosive device, the Bomb, is rigged to detonate when it receives a signal, typically by a wire that leads to a trigger. The trigger may be operated directly by the Detonator, in which case the weapon is known as a CWIED (command wire IED). Or, the triggering mechanism may be activated wirelessly, such as by a cell phone. In this case, the weapon is called an RCIED (remote control IED).
