Anti-Personnel Landmine Alternatives (NSD)

Abstract

Spider Increment 1A will build upon the existing M7 Spider system. The M7 Spider system is a hand-emplaced, remotely controlled (Man-In-The-Loop) system that provides highly responsive terrain-shaping and protection capabilities. M7 Spider replaces persistent anti-personnel landmines, is compliant with US National Landmine policy, and has been fielded to US forces in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and currently being fielded to Engineers within Brigade Combat Teams in the Active and Army National Guard components. Additional capabilities will be developed to enhance the Spider Remote Control Station and demonstrate the ability to employ legacy Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) lethal and non-lethal anti-personnel (AP) munitions and counter mobility obstacles. Spider Increment 1A will utilize an open system architecture to facilitate future munition integration. Spider Increment 1A completed documentation efforts for the Non-Lethal Launcher (NLL) XM809 and XM810 contract activities in support of Type Classification.
