Ground Vehicle Explosive Hazard Detection
Abstract
Current Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) capabilities for detection of emerging low metal and other low contrast explosive threats in an electronic warfare environment are limited by radar receiver technology and detection latency. This project improves capabilities to detect buried Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and antitank landmines and enhances Rate of Advance (RoA) by improving detection and reducing false alarm rates through improving signal to noise and acquisition rate, which reduce susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, and improving the interoperability with electronic countermeasures. 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.
