Explosive detection systems data collection final report

Abstract

The report contained herein is the final report associated with contract FA4819-12-C-0007, Explosive Detection Systems Data Collection (EDSDC). This contract was the primary contract vehicle for conducting Home Made Explosive (HME) Data Collection work on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), by ARAs Tyndall Reactive Materials Group (TRMG). In August 2013, this contract was modified to accommodate a joint DHS/National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) project to develop standards for bomb squad operators. Under this effort, ARA was tasked with developing and shipping robotic test methods, in close coordination with NIST, and under the direction of a DHS program manager. In March 2015, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) at TAFB added a task for ARA to develop a robotic test method for the acquisition/procurement of a small backpack Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robot.
