Rapid Reaction Tunnel Detection (R2TD)
Abstract
R2TD demonstrates a set of detection and mapping technologies, and establishes procedures to provide Joint Force Commanders with a capability to detect, characterize, and interdict tunnels on the battlefield and beneath the U.S. borders. R2TD will accurately locate subsurface voids up to 100 feet deep; detect tunnel construction in real-time and report summaries every four hours; detect movement of contraband through tunnels in near-real time and report summaries every four hours; precisely locate tunnel axis, ingress and egress points; characterize physical dimensions of tunnels; and characterize internal features of tunnels including floor, shoring, lighting, ventilation, and water presence/flow.
