Nature of Requirements:
1. TITLE:
TECHNICAL REVIEW - VEHICLE MOUNTED COMMAND WIRE SENSOR CONCEPTS.
2. SECURITY:
There is no security requirement associated with the requirement.
3. REQUIREMENT:
Defence Research & Development Canada - Suffield has a
requirement for a technical review of vehicle mounted command
wire sensor concepts.
A large number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have
recently been detonated using command wires. It has been
proposed that detection of buried command wires may be achieved
using electromagnetic scattering. In such a scenario, the target
zone considered likely to contain command wires is illuminated
with electromagnetic waves generated by a radio-frequency
transmitter, and the radiation scattered by the wire can be
detected by a single or multiple radio-frequency receivers.
The purpose of this contract is to develop concepts for vehicle
mounted command wire sensors. First, a survey of available
technologies will be performed. This will be followed by an
assessment of the technologies in terms of their performance and
standoff capability. Next, the contractor will assess concepts
developed at DRDC Suffield, and may add additional concepts.
