Landmine Warfare and Barrier Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates sensors, subsystems, and neutralization technologies that can be used by dismounted forces as well as ground and air platforms to detect, identify and mitigate the effects of landmines, improvised explosive devices, minefields, and other explosive hazards. 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 counter explosive hazards and countermine technologies in the areas of countermine and barrier development and Project 683 funds efforts on area denial sensors. Work in this PE is fully coordinated with PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602622A (Chemical, Smoke and Equipment Defeating Technology), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0602712A (Countermine Systems), PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology), PE 0603004 (Weapons and Munitions Advances Technologies), PE 0603270 (Electronic Warfare Technology), and PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM).
