Anti-Personnel Landmine Alternatives (NSD)

Abstract

Spider Networked Munitions (NM) is an integrated system of effects (lethal and non-lethal Anti Personnel (AP), existing anti-vehicle (AV) munition), software, and communications. The Spider system is a hand emplaced, remotely controlled (Man-In-The Loop) system that provides highly responsive terrain-shaping and protection capabilities. Spider Inc 1 replaces persistent anti-personnel landmines, is compliant with US National Landmine policy, and has been fielded to Afghanistan. Spider Inc 1A will build upon the existing Spider system, develop additional capabilities to enhance the Spider Remote Control Station and demonstrate the ability to employ legacy Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) lethal and non-lethal AP, lethal AV munitions, and the Spider Non-Lethal Launcher (NLL).
