IDMAP – IED Data Management & Analytics Platform

Modern battlefields are increasingly shaped by data-driven intelligence and pattern recognition, not just isolated operational reports.

IDMAP is a strategic analytics platform designed to centralize IED-related incident data and transform it into actionable pattern intelligence — supporting analysis, risk awareness and preparedness in defence training environments.

Context

At the Indian Army – EDD Training Unit, IED operation data was managed using legacy systems with significant limitations. While historical data was available, it was difficult for training officers and students to:

  • Analyse incidents across regions and timelines
  • Identify recurring risk patterns
  • Visualize IED hotspots for learning and preparedness

Challenges

Key challenges faced by Indian Army training unit included:

  • Difficulty in identifying recurring IED patterns
  • Limited ability to compare incident characteristics geographically
  • Reliance on static records, restricting strategic learning
  • Absence of a centralized intelligence view

Solution

Building a data-intensive analytics platform in an on-premise defence environment presents unique challenges. PATTERNS7 contributed to developing IDMAP, focusing on:

  • Centralized incident data ingestion for consistency and reliability
  • Analytical and map-based views to surface trends and correlations
  • Scalable architecture designed for long-term intelligence accumulation
