In Search of Technologies to Counter Improvised Threat
The easy access to low-cost, sophisticated technology enables hostile elements to deploy a diverse and ever-evolving range of improvised threats, such as improvised explosive device (IEDs). The Australian Defense Industry Minister Christopher Pyne has allocated $10m in investment for the development of new technologies to defeat improvised threats.
The latest investment program invites researchers to develop new technologies to address the proliferation and variety of improvised threats, as part of the Counter Improvised Threats Grand Challenge.
The Grand ChCounter-Improviseds been launched as part of the $730m Next Generation Technologies Fund that is designed to provide critical capabilities for the future Australian Defense Force. The challenge is aimed at developing technology solutions that facilitate stand-off detection and neutralisation of improvised threats without casualties in a complex joint battlespace.
