Explosives Forensics Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project matures instrumentation and algorithms required to provide improved point, proximity, and stand-off detection of explosives and precursor materials to enable the warfighter to integrate chemical and explosive hazard detection equipment. This Project integrates explosive detection into the family of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear point and stand-off sensors, alternative chemical detection modalities and algorithms that will improve the probability of detection and attribution of an explosive hazard or Home-made Explosive manufacturing/assembly location. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. 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 is performed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0602144A (Ground Technology) / Project BL2 (Explosives Forensics Technology).
