COUNTERMINE & BAR DEV
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates countermine technologies for finding and neutralizing surface and buried threats in varying vegetation, soil, weather, and diurnal conditions. Activities include remote/standoff detection of minefields and neutralization of explosive threats, landmines, and minefields. This project also evaluates airborne threat detection sensors and fabricates them for lightweight plug-and-play use, on unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in mission specific applications. Efforts are supported by modeling and simulation assessments to define potential system effectiveness. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM)/Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Ft. Belvoir, VA. Minefield neutralization efforts are closely coordinated with Navy/US Marine Corps.
