COUNTER IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE (IED) SCIENCES
Abstract
The Basic Research Counter IED program seeks to develop innovative scientific concepts that will form the foundation for future technologies that may be developed and implemented to efficiently and effectively address the IED threat. The effort will emphasize fundamental scientific concepts that can be applied to the detection, neutralization, destruction and mitigation of the effects of these devices, to advance anticipation, and affect the occurrence or potential occurrence of IED events. The program also seeks to establish and nurture a multidisciplinary counter-IED Science and Technology community of Government, academic and industry researchers to accelerate the transition of new science and technology into fielded systems. This activity also includes Secretary of Defense directed peer-review basic research to develop innovative solutions and enhance the science and engineering base. It also includes efforts initiated under the Basic Research Challenge Program. Accomplishments and plans described below are examples for each effort category. The FY 2013 funding reflects a decreased investment in this area.
