Standoff Sensors for Explosive Hazard Detection

Abstract

This effort addresses the challenges of sensing and confirming potential in-road and/or roadside threats at standoff ranges. The effort focuses on understanding the phenomenologies that impact sensor design concepts and steer novel technologies that provide the primary means for detecting anomalies. The result is higher-confidence target detection and improved clutter/background filtering. Examples of candidate technologies include Forward Looking (FL) Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sensors, which are used to detect surface and shallow buried targets. This effort also investigates new sensor technologies, to confirm buried threats at deeper depths.
