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. 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. The Forward Reconnaissance and Explosive Hazard Detection (FREHD) system will provide a suite of vehicle-mounted capabilities that enable route clearance patrols to achieve higher rates of advance by accurately detecting and adjudicating potential explosive hazards with reduced hazard interrogation time. The system will automatically nominate potential hazards on the move and at standoff distance, and then let route clearance teams decide whether to perform more detailed examinations and identification of those hazards using additional tools within the FREHD suite. FREHD will also provide threat visualization and control capabilities that enable route clearance and allow Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and related mission personnel to remotely view video feeds of the hazard and remotely control the apparatus. The increased rate of advance will improve route clearance time, while the increased standoff improves force protection. FREHD will begin transition of Advanced Technology Objective efforts from the Science and Technology community, and conduct program initiation activities via a Materiel Development Decision in FY 2013. Subject to timely program initiation and confirmation of technology maturity, FREHD technology development efforts will continue in FY 2014.
