Maritime EOD Training, Ranging and Evaluation System (METRES) (Navy)
Abstract
Test an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)/Mine-Counter-Measures (MCM) Training, Ranging and Evaluation System. The system is capable of detecting and measuring energy signature levels of in-service and future Maritime EOD MCM equipment. It is capable of measuring signatures arising from magnetic, acoustic, seismic, and artificial light activity. Permits EOD/MCM forces to train in a near-real world threat environment. The primary outputs are a programmable influence mine simulation system operated from small craft that is portable and which may be deployed, operated, and recovered from the water without aid of mechanical lifting devices; and a system which will be programmable to support training against new mine threats by allowing new algorithms and threat characteristics to be readily input into the system.
