Landmine Warfare/Barrier - Eng Dev
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and demonstration of networked munitions, countermine systems, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) render safe, and counter improvised explosive device capabilities. This PE also implements the National Landmine Policy to develop alternatives to the non-self-destructing counter mobility anti-personnel landmine systems. The PE contributes to area access and area denial (A2/AD) to support unified land operations and improve soldier survivability. Project 016, Close Combat Capabilities, covers three programs: Dismounted Lane Breaching System (DLBS); Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS); and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Render Safe (EOD RS). It provides for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and demonstration of capabilities needed for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to render safe (RS) US and foreign ordnance and improvised explosive devices, enabling ground force commanders to retain freedom of maneuver and secure lines of communications, as well as the Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS). EOD RS equips EOD teams with low light visual augmentation system, electronic countermeasures, buried IED detection, dismounted X-ray imager, X-ray generator, trace explosive, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN), and drug detection, unmanned aerial system, power management, gamma and neutron search and detection, and render safe initiation. NGABS mission is to enhance the tactical utility and applicability of this bomb suit concept by incorporating modularity/scalability and sensor technologies. NGABS will increase the Warfighter lethality and mobility by optimizing Soldier protection for EOD personnel, while effectively managing all life cycle aspects of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The NGABS will benefit the U.S. industrial base through the NGABS integrated Heads-Up Display (HUD) development which requires extensive collaboration across Protective Equipment and Sensor program offices, industry participants, Military Services and Governmental Agencies. In FY 2018, this project also included improvements to legacy dismounted lane breaching, specifically the Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System (APOBS), and in so doing, provided a pathway to the next generation of dismounted lane breaching systems such as the Rapid Assault Lane Line Charge (RALLC) and the Dismounted Explosive Breaching System (DEBS). The efforts addressed capability gaps identified during combat operations and focused on weight reduction, improved scalability, collateral damage reduction, metallic content elimination, deployment accuracy improvement, and increased effectiveness against the current threat. Project 415, Mine Neutralization/Detection provides for development of next generation standoff, detection, and neutralization capability programs such as Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS), Route Clearance & Interrogation System (RCIS), Vehicle Optics Sensor System (VOSS), Standoff Robotic Explosive Hazard Detection System (SREHD), formerly known as the Autonomous Mine Detection System (AMDS), Route Clearance Vehicles (RCV) and Enablers, Multi-Function Video Display (MVD) and Add on Armor (AoA) kits. It also supports development of Explosive Hazard Pre-Detonation (EHP) capability to neutralize/detonate a broad spectrum of improvised explosive hazards while on the move to support area access route clearance missions. Provides funding to the Tank Automotive Research Development Engineering Center (TARDEC) Software Engineering Center (SEC) to integrate enhancements and test Explosive Hazard Pre-Detonation (EHP) software releases incorporating support for MVD. For RCIS Type I, FY 2020 funding supports engineering, logistics development, Full Up System Level prototype delivery and ATEC testing, including the digitized, drive by wire HMEE with the Semi-Autonomous Control (SAC) kit.. Project 434, Spider Increment 1A will build upon the existing M7 Spider system. The M7 Spider system is a hand-emplaced, remotely controlled (Man-In-The-Loop) system that provides highly responsive terrain-shaping and protection capabilities. M7 Spider replaces persistent anti-personnel landmines, is compliant with US National Landmine policy, and has been fielded to US forces in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and currently being fielded to Engineers and Brigade Combat Teams in the Active and Army National Guard components. Additional capabilities will be developed to enhance the Spider Remote Control Station and demonstrate the ability to employ legacy Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) lethal and non-lethal anti-personnel (AP) munitions and counter mobility obstacles. Spider Increment 1A will utilize an open system architecture to facilitate future munition integration. FY 2020 funding resources the initiation of the Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) program, which provide an interim Anti-Vehicle (AV) capability to address the Army's directed close tactical obstacle capability gap. SAVO supports a U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) as well as a revision to the Multiple Delivery Mine System (Volcano) Joint Service Operational Requirement (JSOR). This capability will allow for the formation of pre-emplaced directed obstacles that can be initiated remotely via fielded wired or wireless initiation systems. If the emplaced obstacle is not initiated, SAVO can be recovered for future re-deployment. SAVO consists of a newly developed base from which the existing stock of National Landmine Policy compliant munitions (M87A1 Volcano canisters) can be launched. SAVO can be initiated through an interface with three fielded systems; the M7 Spider Networked Munition System, the MK152/M156 Remote Activation Munition Systems (RAMS), or the CD450-4J Blasting Machine. This Program Element (PE) proves for the engineering development of Terrain Shaping Obstacles. This PE develops alternatives to the Family of Scatterable Mines systems.
