Ground Vehicle Explosive Hazard Detection
Abstract
This project improves detection of buried low metal/low contrast explosive threats, such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and antitank landmines and increases Rates of Advance (RoA). Improving the signal to noise ratio and acquisition rates reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and improves the interoperability with electronic countermeasures, while continuing to improve detection and reduce false alarms. Currently, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) capabilities for detection of explosive threats in an electronic warfare environment are limited by radar receiver technology and detection latency. This effort leverages the technology results from forward looking radar technology investigations under the Threat Detection and Neutralization for Route Clearance effort and Threat/Mine Detection for In Road Obstacles.
