CNTRMN/BARRIER ADV DEV
Abstract
This project enables component development of new counter explosive hazard systems that focus on detecting, marking, and neutralizing mines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). These capabilities will enhance the effectiveness of the Route Clearance Platoon within the Engineer Company, the Brigade Combat Team as well as other related Army missions. The Autonomous Mine Detection System (AMDS) provides stand-off detection for the dismounted soldier via the development of three payloads for an existing small robotic platform. The payloads are for surface laid and buried threat detection and marking, explosive hazards trace detection and marking, and neutralization. In FY2011, AMDS will continue tchnology development with component prototypes of each of the three payloads being developed. The Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) provides state of the art detection of surface laid and shallow buried explosive hazards, deep buried explosive hazard detection, and semi-autonomous operation in support of route clearance missions. HMDS is a mission equipment package mounted on HUSKY route clearance vehicles. In FY2012, AMDS will continue technology development efforts with component prototypes of each of the three payloads being delivered for evaluation. These efforts will lead to a pre-Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) in process review in 4QFY12 in preparation for EMD to begin in FY2013. The Forward Reconnaissance and Explosive Hazard Detection (FREHD) system will provide a suite of modular payloads to enhance route clearance capabilities. In FY2013, FREHD system will begin transition of Advanced Technology Objective efforts from the Science and Technology community and conduct program initiation activities to a material development decision in 2QFY2013.
