Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced Studies

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) executes applied research into novel methods for detecting and defeating Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) through the application of emerging technologies as well as research into emerging IED threats to evaluate potential methods of defeat. The goal of this research is to increase the ability of deployed forces to positively identify IEDs with minimal false alarms and positively neutralize or mitigate the effects of IEDs with minimal collateral damage through the systematic identification and maturation of technologies capable of defeating IEDs. This PE is executed by the Army Futures Command (AFC) in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD/R&E) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Work in this PE was previously conducted under PE 0602134BR, Improvised Threat Reduction Applied Research.
