Joint EOD Demos
Abstract
This activity focuses on developing and demonstrating technologies to support a standoff or remote capability for detection and location, diagnosis, render safe, neutralization and enhanced access. Efforts include: electromagnetic, electro-optical, and acoustic sensors and systems for detection of explosive threat components including explosives, device housings/containers, and triggering mechanisms, standoff identification and confirmation of trace explosives, fusion of multi-sensor input for high confidence detection and diagnosis of buried threats, highly dexterous manipulators and imitative controllers for lightweight, efficient (strength/weight ratio) dual manipulator systems integrated onto EOD robots for enhanced access, enhanced robotic autonomy to support EOD missions, data compression and visualization techniques to support precise render safe and neutralization, and neutralization devices containing reactive materials to neutralize devices with low collateral damage. This S&T investment supports the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) and DoD EOD Program Board validated requirements for Joint EOD missions. This S&T investment provides critical S&T transitions to acquisition programs. This investment in Joint EOD S&T is reported annually to the DoD EOD Program Board. This S&T investment is documented in the DoD EOD Applied Research Program Plan which is reviewed and approved annually by the DoD EOD Program Board.
