MINE NEUTRAL/DETECTION
Abstract
This Project provides for Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) for the next generation of capabilities to detect, identify and neutralize explosive hazards such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and landmines. These capabilities are a Family of Systems (FOS) encompassing handheld, vehicle mounted, small robotic mounted, aerial platform mounted and area clearance systems operating in manned, remotely controlled, semi-autonomous or fully autonomous modes. Continued development of this FOS is necessary to support Route Clearance Platoons located both within Engineer Companies, and Brigade Combat Teams. The Husky Mine Detection System (HMDS) provides state of the art detection (ground penetrating radar) of surface laid and shallow buried explosive hazards (IEDs and landmines), deep buried cache detection, and semi-autonomous operation in support of route clearance missions. HMDS is a mission equipment package mounted on Husky route clearance vehicles and is located within Route Clearance Platoons. The Vehicle Optical Sensor System (VOSS) provides a telescoping, gyro-stabilized, high-resolution, triple sensor (daylight, night-vision, and thermal-imaging) surveillance system to optically detect from standoff distances: explosive hazards (IEDs and landmines) and their trigger sources. VOSS is mounted on Medium Mine Protected Vehicles (MMPV) and the Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle (JERRV) located within Route Clearance Platoons and EOD Companies. The Airborne Counter Explosive Reconnaissance and Targeting System (ACERTS) uses Multi-Spectral Imaging (MSI) and visible/Near Infrared sensors mounted on manned or unmanned aerial vehicles to detect and locate explosive hazards, IEDs and other obstacles that impede maneuver forces. The Ground Vehicle Sub Surface Sensor System (GVS4) is a payload with detection and neutralization equipment mounted and integrated on manned or unmanned platforms to support Army Heavy and Infantry BCTs. This package may include downward looking, forward looking and side-looking radars, articulating crane arms with digging attachments and standoff optical and thermal viewing capabilities. The Military Working Dogs will fund development of training devices and a worldwide deployable kennel for transporting/housing of the animals involved in explosive hazard detection. The Area Mine Proofing System (AMPS) will provide improved capabilities for area clearance of explosive hazards including remote control kits for the medium mine clearing flails that integrates a proofing mechanism with a prime mover. Explosive Hazard Roller ((EHP) capability to neutralize/detonate a broad spectrum of improvised explosive hazards while on the move, to support route clearance mission.
