COUNTERMINE & BAR DEV
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates counter explosive hazard technologies for finding and neutralizing surface and buried threats in varying vegetation, soil, weather, and diurnal conditions. Activities include remote/standoff detection of individual explosive hazards and minefields and neutralization of explosive threats, landmines, and minefields. This project also evaluates airborne explosive hazard detection sensors and fabricates them for lightweight plug-and-play use, on manned and 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 Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This project supports Army science and technology efforts in the Ground, Soldier, Air and Command Control and Communications portfolios. 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.
