Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

The Communications and Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), specifically the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), is initiating a four-year Science and Technology Objective (STO) program starting in fiscal year 2005, focused on assessing the feasibility of detecting Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threats in urban environments through explosives detection methods. As part of this effort, NVESD is organizing a one-day workshop scheduled for July 1, 2004, aiming to address the scientific and engineering challenges related to characterizing the chemical signatures of IEDs and evaluating existing or adaptable sampling and sensing technologies for this purpose. The workshop will provide a platform for discussion on how the Army can leverage source signature information to enhance threat detection. Participants, limited to U.S. citizens, are invited to submit abstracts and present unclassified briefings related to their research on source signature analysis or sensing techniques applicable to the STO's goals. Presentations should focus on scientific and engineering approaches and explore potential collaboration opportunities with NVESD. Due to time constraints, not all submissions may be accepted, and abstracts must be submitted by June 14, 2004. The workshop will be held at the Institute for Defense Analyses, with contacts provided for further information. This initiative is part of the Department of Defense's efforts to improve route-clearance capabilities against IED threats in urban settings.

Full Description

The Communications and Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) has proposed a four-year, limited funding Science and Technology Objective (STO) program to begin fiscal year 2005. The objective of this STO will be to determine the feasibility of locating IED threats along routes in urban environments through explosives detection. To support this program, NVESD will conduct a workshop to discuss the scientific and engin eering challenges associated with the STO objective. In particular, NVESD is interested in evaluating the best approaches to quantitatively characterize the chemical signature of typically encountered IED threats. Additionally, NVESD is interested in det ermining if existing or slightly modifiable sampling and sensing techniques can be effectively applied to the challenge of IED detection. NVESD has tentatively scheduled this one-day workshop for 1 July 2004. Please consider attending this workshop and co nsult your calendar to determine if this proposed date is available. NVESD will outline and discuss the currently proposed STO. This workshop is open to U.S. citizens only. You are invited to present an unclassified 15-20 minute briefing on the research that you or your organization conducts that may be relevant to the STO program. Presentation should focus on scientific and engineering approaches to understanding the source signature, and how the Army might exploit that signature by leveraging existing sensing and sampling techniques. Also, presenters should consider potential avenues for collaboration with NVESD. Due to time constraints, some briefings may not be permitted. Presentation abstracts should be submitted no later than 14 June 2004 and sho uld be sent to the following email address: contact@example.gov. The workshop is scheduled to take place at the Institute for Defense Analyses. If you have any questions, please contact Scott Grossman on +1 (555) 000-0000, email: contact@example.gov my.mil, or Aaron LaPointe, +1 (555) 000-0000, email: contact@example.gov.
