Landmine Warfare and Barrier Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates sensor and neutralization technologies that can be used on ground and/or air platforms to detect, identify, and then mitigate the effects of landmines, minefields, and obstacles. This PE also conducts modeling and simulation activities to assess the effectiveness of detection and neutralization concepts. Project 608 supports the maturation and demonstration of enabling component and subsystems for countermine technologies in the areas of countermine and barrier development, Project 64C funds congressional special interest items, and Project 683 funds efforts on area denial sensors. Work in this PE is fully coordinated with PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0602712A (Countermine Systems), PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology) and PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM)/Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Fort Belvoir, VA.
