Dismounted Explosive Hazard Detection Technology

Abstract

This effort investigates threat and common clutter phenomenologies enabling investments in emerging component technologies to enhance detection of explosive hazards, including metallic and non-metallic landmines, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Home Made Explosives (HMEs), and Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs). Emphasis will be on increased coverage area, higher detection and discrimination probabilities. Low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) enabling technologies will be considered and studied to ensure solutions are viable for Soldier-portable applications. This effort also investigates advanced signal processing and real time algorithms utilizing candidate sensors including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and metal detector position, for increased real-time feedback on threat detection and enhanced identification.
