Congressional Adds
Abstract
This congressional increase further develops and demonstrates 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 multiple-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.
