Robotics R&D Efforts
Problem Statement and Objectives
ARA is working with the U.S. Army
Humanitarian Demining Group of the Night Vision and Electronic
Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Ft. Belvoir, VA, to develop Nemesis,
a robotic system used to detect and neutralize landmines. Nemesis is
an unmanned, rubber-tracked, vehicle-based system designed to
eradicate both anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines. The system
includes three primary components:
- Versatile robotic platform with
semi-autonomous navigation capability and mapping display
feedback
- Multi-sensor detection array
integrating advanced electromagnetic induction (EMI) and ground
penetrating synthetic aperture radar (GPSAR) arrays with
real-time landmine recognition algorithms
- Propellant torch (PT)
neutralization designed to burn out the explosive contents of a
landmine without a high order detonation.
Results and Benefits
ARA provides innovative
solutions to challenging problems in engineering and
science. We consistently generate new ideas and approaches
to meet the ever-changing challenges in engineering and the
physical sciences.
