Cntrmn/Barrier Adv Dev

Abstract

Project 606 Countermine/Barrier Advanced Development enables development and evaluation of technologies that will perform detection, neutralization, and clearing of landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at operational speeds. The Forward Reconnaissance and Explosive Hazard Detection (FREHD) system is a suite of four capabilities for use by route clearance patrols to provide standoff detection of explosive hazards: vehicle mounted anomaly detection; pinpoint explosive hazard detection; explosive hazard vapor and particle detection; and remote visualization. FREHD increases the rate of advance of the route clearance formation while removing Soldiers and equipment from the proximity of blast and fragmentation. The FY 2019 Base Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDTE) dollars in the amount of $2.968 million supports the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) delegation, the Materiel Development Decision (MDD), Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and Milestone documentation in preparation for the initiation of the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase for the Forward Reconnaissance and Explosive Hazard Detection (FREHD) system.
