Description
Mission — Counter Improvised-Threat Simulation
This Project develops, matures, and demonstrates technologies for detecting and defeating improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other threat explosive devices. The goal of this research is to increase the ability of deployed forces to positively identify IEDs with minimal false alarms and increase the rate of advance of deployed forces, as well as to identify vehicle and personnel borne IEDs at fixed sites. Additionally, the objective is to positively neutralize or mitigate the effects of IEDs with minimal collateral damage. Work in this Project complements Program Element (PE) 0602134A (Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced Studies) / Project CD2 (Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced). 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) with work being led by Joint Service laboratories in partnerships with industry and academia.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (8)
Enabling C-IED Technologies
This effort develops technologies that support the detection, prevention, neutralization and mitigation of IED threats. Technologies exploit data sciences including sensor processing algorithms, integration of sensor data, data processing and analytics, threat forecasting, and autonomous maneuver. Techniques will be demonstrated that determine detection of IED threats and identify trends to forecast probabilities of encountering or attributing IEDs based on operational data and machine learning techniques. The goals for these technologies are to achieve high probabilities of detecting, predicting and attributing IEDs threats.
Counter Improvised Threat Advanced Technologies
This effort matures and demonstrates technology to detect IED threats at standoff distances. Technologies include electro-optical, radar, light detection and ranging (LIDAR), atomic magnetometer and other technologies applicable to detecting IEDs and their components that can be integrated on dismounted Soldiers, ground, water-based and aerial systems or at fixed sites. This effort also matures and demonstrates technologies and network techniques to detect the electronic signature of radio-controlled IEDs, as well as technology critical to neutralizing and mitigating the effects of IEDs at standoff distances. Technologies include directed energy sources, energetic or kinetic effectors, encasement of the threat and Soldier, platform and base protection technologies. Will demonstrate these technologies to neutralize IEDs in-place and protect soldiers and equipment from the effects of IEDs. This effort also matures technologies that exploit data sciences including sensor processing algorithms, integration of sensor data, data processing and analytics, threat forecasting, and autonomous maneuver. Will demonstrate techniques that detect IED threats and identify trends to forecast probabilities of encountering or attributing IEDs based on operational data and machine learning techniques.
IED Neutralization, Prevention and Mitigation
This effort develops technology critical to neutralizing and mitigating the effects of IEDs at standoff distances. Technologies include directed energy sources, energetic or kinetic effectors, encasement of the threat and Soldier, and platform and base protection technologies. These technologies will be demonstrated to neutralize IEDs in place and protect soldiers and equipment from the effects of IEDs. This effort also explores advanced techniques to robotically manipulate IEDs. The goal for these technologies is to achieve high probabilities of avoiding the IED's effects on friendly forces.
Standoff Detection of IED Threats in All Environments
This effort develops technology to detect IED threats at standoff distances. Technologies include electro-optical, radar, light detection and ranging (LIDAR), atomic magnetometer and other technologies applicable to detecting IEDs and their components that can be integrated on dismounted Soldiers, ground, water-based and aerial systems, or at fixed sites. This effort also develops technologies and network techniques to detect the electronic signature of radio-controlled IEDs. Technologies will be validated on their ability to detect IEDs and their components within infrastructure, on or under ground and water, and attached to vehicles or personnel. The goal for these technologies is to achieve high probabilities of detection while minimizing false alarms from naturally occurring and man-made entities.
