Explosives Forensics Technology

Abstract

This Project investigates and develops analytical methods for military explosives, homemade explosives (HME), HME precursors, and residue analysis for forensics attribution purposes. Project BL2 (Explosives Forensics Technology) pursues research in signatures and algorithms required to provide improved residue analysis of explosives and precursor materials to enable integration into chemical and explosive hazard detection equipment for the warfighter. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project supports the Army Science and Technology Ground and Next Generation Combat Vehicle Portfolio. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), Project BL3 (Explosive Forensics Advanced Technology).
