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. Funding increase in Counter IED in FY16 is the result of increased investment in Basic Research within the Department of Defense, resulting from increased funding across the PE resulting in higher investment levels in each major category of Counter IED. Accomplishments and plans described below are examples for each effort category.
