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 within both Engineer Companies, and Brigade Combat Teams. The Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) is a mission equipment package mounted on Husky route clearance vehicles in support of Route Clearance Platoons. The HMDS provides a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect surface-laid and shallow-buried explosive hazards, including landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs); a large-loop metal detector for deep-buried detection (DBD) of metallic explosive hazards and caches; a semi-autonomous control payload for the Husky vehicle and its detection payloads; and associated training devices. The Route Clearance & Interrogation System (RCIS) is a two vehicle system plus designated control vehicles which provides a standoff capability to detect and neutralize the full spectrum of explosive hazards using semi-autonomous, teleoperated controls on the existing base vehicles of the High Mobility Engineering Excavator (HMEE) and the RG31. RCIS Type 1 will be based on the HMEE and be capable of interrogating and classifying explosive hazards. RCIS Type 2 will be based on the RG-31 and be able to detect, neutralize and proof explosive hazards. RCIS capabilities will be employed on Route Clearance Squads and Engineer Platoons. Beginning in FY 2013, funding will also be used for interoperability and comparative testing to support a letter of sufficiency for the MTRS Inc II program. The Vehicle Optics 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 Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Companies. The Multi-Function Display (MFD) provides view/control capability of the enablers (Interrogation Arms, VOSS, Man Transportable Robotic System, Drivers Vision Enhancement, Vehicle Situational Awareness Cameras) in the Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) to all Operators. New capabilities will be added into that display to view and control future Unmanned Ground Vehicle Systems (UGVs) programs Route Clearance & Integration System (RCIS) and Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) and view Unmanned Aerial Vehicles video feeds. Additional software will need to be developed to add these capabilities. In addition, a new capability to push the video feeds of all of the enablers (Interrogation Arms, VOSS, Man Transportable Robotic System, Drivers Vision Enhancement, Vehicle Situational Awareness Cameras) from various vehicles within a Route Clearance Patrol will be developed. The following Route Clearance Vehicles (RCV) enablers will require a full system integration design cycle to ensure suitability and compatibility with various RCV's: - Wire Neutralization System on the Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) Type II - Debris Blower on the Buffalo Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle (MPCV) - RCIS on the MMPV Type I & II and Buffalo MPCV - HMDS on the Husky and MMPV Type I & II - An interface kit (A-Kit) for all RCVs for the next generation Add-on-Armor (AoA) kits. - MMPV Type II ROLLER/WNS kits - Husky WNS - Storage optimization The Military Working Dogs (MWD) will fund development of training devices and a worldwide deployable kennel for transporting/housing of the animals involved in explosive hazard detection and qualification of new explosive scents as part of kits procured. Explosive Hazard Pre-Detonation (EHP) capability to include a roller, debris blower, and Wire Neutralization System (WNS) to neutralize/detonate a broad spectrum of improvised explosive hazards while on the move, to support route clearance mission. Autonomous Mine Detection System (AMDS) provides mine and explosive hazards stand-off detection, marking and neutralization capability for the dismounted soldier. AMDS consists of payload modules to be mounted on man-portable unmanned ground vehicles. The payloads are for surface laid and buried threats to include mines and explosive hazards. AMDS will transition from Technical Development to Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) in FY 2013.
