The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.
| Series | FY19 | FY20 | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $6.24M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $6.01M as actual total obligation authority — $228.0K below the request. 6.0 − 6.2 = -0.2 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced Studies
This Program Element (PE) executes applied research into novel methods for detecting and defeating Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) through the application of emerging technologies as well as research into emerging IED threats to evaluate potential methods of defeat. Efforts are selected in the budget year and current year of execution to address program requirements. This PE is executed in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD/R&E) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0603134A (Counter Improvised Threat Simulation), Project CD3 (Counter Improvised Threat Simulation). The cited work is consistent with the USD/R&E priority focus areas. Work in this Project is managed by Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center. Work is performed by the United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Army Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C), the Engineering Research and Development Center, Space and Missile Defense Technical Center, and the United States Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences with oversight from Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology for Research and Technology (DASA R&T).
Mission — Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced Studies
This Project investigates novel methods for detecting and defeating existing and emerging improvised explosive devices (IED) and their potential application against other explosive hazard threats. This Project is executed by the Army Futures Command (AFC) in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0603134A (Counter Improvised Threat Simulation) / Project CD3 (Counter Improvised Threat Simulation). The cited work is consistent with the USD/R&E priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is executed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)).

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Counter IED Emerging Technologies
This effort investigates emerging technologies in physics, chemistry, biology and computer science to identify applications to detect and defeat current and emerging IED and other threat explosive critical components. This effort investigates the combination of methods and maturation of technological solutions to detect and defeat IEDs threats. The goals include increasing the standoff detection distance, increasing the probability of positive identification, and reducing the rate of false indications. This effort is informed by technology trends across the Department of Defense and by analysis of IED threats encountered in operational scenarios.
