CNTRMN/BARRIER ADV DEV

Abstract

This project provides for component development of new explosive hazard (countermine and counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED)) systems for neutralizing, clearing, and detection capabilities that will enhance the effectiveness of the Route Clearance Platoon within both the Engineer Company, and the Brigade Combat Team. Two of these programs are planned for FY2012; they are the Autonomous Mine Detection System (AMDS) and the Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS). AMDS provides stand-off detection for the dismounted soldier. AMDS consist of three payloads for a robotic platform. The payloads are for surface laid and buried threat detection and marking, explosive hazards trace detection and marking, and neutralization. Additional technologies are planned to transition from on-going Advance Technology Objectives (ATOs) efforts in FY2012 and beyond. The HMDS will transition advanced technologies from the Army's S&T program into development to further enhance vehicle mounted explosive hazard detection capabilities. This project provides for component development and program transition from JUONS requirement to Army Acquisition Program. HMDS provides state of the art detection of surface laid and shallow buried explosive hazards, 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.
