Standoff Sensors for Explosive Hazard Detection

Abstract

This effort addresses the challenges of sensing and confirming potential in-road and/or roadside targets at standoff range such as reduced resolution and grazing angle effects. This effort focuses on understanding phenomenologies that impact sensor design concepts and steer novel technologies that provide primary anomaly search sensing leading to higher-confidence target detection and clutter/background filtering. Examples of candidate technologies include forward looking Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sensors for surface and shallow buried targets. These efforts also investigate new sensor phenomenologies to confirm buried threats at deeper depths including multispectral, low frequency electro-magnetic (EM), and doppler interferometric sensors.
