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 in both mounted and dismounted applications. 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 Maneuver, Soldier, Air and Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence portfolios. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC)/Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Ft. Belvoir, VA. Minefield neutralization efforts are closely coordinated with Navy/US Marine Corps.
