Counter Improvised-Threat Demonstration, Prototype Development, and Testing

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) develops prototypes and demonstrates technology for detecting and defeating Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). The goal of this Project is to mature technology to increase the ability of deployed forces to positively identify IEDs with minimal false alarms and increase the rate of advance of route clearance missions. Additionally the objective is to positively neutralize or mitigate the effects of IEDs with minimal collateral damage. Driven by the current threat facing deployed U.S. forces, this PE enables rapid development and delivery of capabilities that enable the detection, neutralization, and risk mitigation of IEDs and their effects. These technologies are intended to be matured and demonstrated for integration onto existing Department of Defense weapon systems. This PE is coordinated with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD/R&E) including the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Work in this PE was previously conducted under PE 0604134BR, Counter Improvised-Threat Technology Demonstration, Prototype Development, and Testing.
