Unexploded Ordnance Clearance Technology Support
Abstract
This effort was devolved to the Army from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)). This effort funds the Unexploded Ordnance Center of Excellence (UXOCOE), which provides the day-to-day management, coordination, and information clearinghouse functions, and serves as the Department of Defense's (DoD) center for coordinating Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) requirements and programs across DoD; develops and promotes standards for testing, modeling, and evaluation; maintains information on technologies for UXO detection and clearance; publishes an annual report summarizing the activities and accomplishments of the UXOCOE in order to improve the effectiveness and economy of UXO detection and clearance RDT&E efforts throughout DoD; and gathers and maintains a database for the results of these efforts. The Army manages, oversees, and coordinates this effort on behalf of the office of the USD(AT&L).
