JNT Service EOD Development

Abstract

This is a Joint Service Program. This program provides for the development of Explosive Ordnance Disposal tools and equipment aimed at meeting National Defense Strategy guidance to build a more lethal force. The responsibility is assigned to the Navy as single service manager, per Department of Defense Directive 5160.62 of 15 May, 2017, for management of the Joint Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal Research and Development Program. Proliferation of sophisticated types of foreign and domestic ordnance and Improvised Explosive Devices necessitate a continuing development program to provide Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel of all military services with the tools and equipment designed for modularity, scalability, and flexibility, while maintaining readiness to respond to contingencies and ensure long-term warfighting readiness. This program also provides life support related equipment necessary to support the performance of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal tasks underwater. This equipment must have inherently low acoustic and magnetic signatures in order to allow the Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician to safely approach, render-safe and dispose of sea mines and other underwater ordnance. This program also supports the National Defense Strategy's objective of preventing terrorist and near peer operations against the US, allies, and partners by providing for the research and development of Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, equipment, procedures, and tactical aids for all military services against the threat posed by Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs) and to prevent initiation of RCIEDs across the spectrum of Joint military operations. It utilizes Joint requirements to provide a system of systems approach for a suite of equipment for mounted, dismounted, and fixed site operations; provides a Joint Counter RCIED EW (CREW) development of equipment, procedures, and tactical aids to make rapid improvements to performance, supportability and affordability, while maintaining pace with the evolving RCIED global threat. A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification These resources support the development of equipment for the Navy's only comprehensive expeditionary detect to engage and exploitation MCM capability. Specifically, it provides for development of Diver Safety/Life Support Equipment, Advanced Diver Integrated Sensors and Command Detonation Systems to support Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) underwater operations, expeditionary salvage, and Expeditionary MCM Company operations by US Fleet Forces Command. The equipment must have inherently low acoustic and magnetic signatures in order to allow the EOD divers to safely detect, reaquire, approach, render-safe, recover, exploit, and dispose of underwater explosive threats to include sea mines, limpet mines, underwater improvised explosive devices, and unexploded ordnance.
