Landmine Warfare/Barrier - Eng Dev

Abstract

This program element (PE) provides for System Development and Demonstration of networked munitions and countermine systems. This PE implements the National Landmine Policy to develop alternatives to the non-self-destructing anti-vehicle and anti-personnel landmine systems. Project 016, Close Combat Capabilities Engineering Development, provides for the development of the anti vehicle mine replacement, Scorpion (previously the Intelligent Munitions System (IMS)) supports the current force in accordance with the landmine policy. Project 415, Mine Neutralization/Detection provides for development of next generation standoff detection capability programs such as the Airborne Counter Explosive Reconnaissance and Targeting System (ACERTS), Ground Vehicle Sub Surface Sensor System (GVS4), and the Autonomous Mine Detection System (AMDS). It also supports development of training devices for Military Working Dogs involved in mine/IED detection. Explosive Hazard Roller capability to neutralize/detonate a broad spectrum of improvised explosive hazards while on the move, to support the route clearance mission. Project 434, Anti-Personnel Landmine Alternatives - Develop Spider Networked Munitions (NM) Increment 2 capabilities to provide an improved NM Controller and the ability to employ and control fielded Army common Anti-Personnel (AP) and Anti-Vehicle (AV) lethal and non-lethal munitions and effects. The Spider Increment 2 program is the recipient of the transferred anti-vehicle landmine alternative mission from the Intelligent Munitions System called Scorpion program. Scorpion is being closed out due to affordability. Spider Increment 2 will build on the existing Spider system and develop the capability to initiate existing anti-vehicle munitions from the enhanced Spider Controller.
