Close Combat Capabilities ENG DEV
Abstract
Project 016, Close Combat Capabilities, covers three programs: Dismounted Lane Breaching System (DLBS); Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS); and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Render Safe (EOD RS). It provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and demonstration of capabilities needed for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to render safe (RS) US and foreign ordnance and improvised explosive devices, enabling ground force commanders to retain freedom of maneuver and secure lines of communications, as well as the Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS). EOD RS equips EOD teams with low light visual augmentation system, electronic countermeasures, buried IED detection, dismounted X-ray imager, X-ray generator, trace explosive, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN), and drug detection, unmanned aerial system, power management, gamma and neutron search and detection, and render safe initiation. NGABS mission is to enhance the tactical utility and applicability of this bomb suit concept by incorporating modularity/scalability and sensor technologies. NGABS will increase the Warfighter lethality and mobility by optimizing Soldier protection for EOD personnel, while effectively managing all life cycle aspects of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In FY 2018, this project also included improvements to legacy dismounted lane breaching, specifically the Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System (APOBS), and in so doing, provided a pathway to the next generation of dismounted lane breaching systems such as the Rapid Assault Lane Line Charge (RALLC) and the Dismounted Explosive Breaching System (DEBS). The efforts addressed capability gaps identified during combat operations and focused on weight reduction, improved scalability, collateral damage reduction, metallic content elimination, deployment accuracy improvement, and increased effectiveness against the current threat.
