Marines: The primary purpose of the CVRJ system is to defeat existing Radio Frequency (RF) threats and newly identified Hard-to-Kill RF threats. Advanced EW components and techniques are implemented to combat complex threat infrastructures in order to provide a maximum protection radius while minimizing the overall system cost and prime power consumption requirements.ĬVRJ (CREW Vehicle Receiver Jammer) U.S. CREW Duke V3 consists of a primary unit known as the CREW Duke V2 and a secondary unit that features advanced electronic warfare subsystems to counter emerging advanced RCIED technologies. It is a field deployable system that was designed to have minimal size, weight and power requirements while providing simple operation and optimal performance in order to provide force protection against radio-controlled IEDs. forces critical, life-saving protection against a wide range of threats. , manufactured by SRCTec, Inc., is a counter radio-controlled improvised explosive device (RCIED) electronic warfare (CREW) system that was developed to provide U.S. The system is currently composed of two layers, an inner layer (underwear) and outer layer (ballistic protection) Armored/Mine-Resistant and Counter-IED Vehicles ĭuke V3 Counter Radio-controlled Electronic Warfare jamming systemĭuke Version 3 Vehicle mounted CREW system: "Duke V3". Army teamed with other organizations and the industry to develop and rapidly field the Pelvic Protective System. Pelvic Protection System: To reduce casualties and minimize damage to vital areas of the body the U.S. Below are a few of the currently fielded systems and what is to come.Į-SAPI/X-SAPI ballistic plates: Armored plates (of a shape and curvature to be placed against the body) that provide protection from explosively-formed projectiles. Currently there are many options available for dismounted troops to protect them from all types of danger. There have been many advancements made in ergonomics, blast resistant material and infection prevention over the last couple decades. Wheelbarrow robot on the streets of Northern Ireland in 1978īody Armor: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines have a large assortment of wearable protection against the effects of blasts and shrapnel. Throwbots: Throwbots (from "throwable robot") are rugged, highly portable, and instantly and easily deployable reconnaissance robots.
Packbot: The PackBot is a series of military robots by iRobot. Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV): SUGVs are lightweight, rugged, specialized systems suitable for military applications in congested urban settings to give users the ability to see around corners and into tight spaces. Military for explosive ordnance disposal and disarming improvised explosive devices.
The (IED/EOD) TALON Carries sensors and a robotic manipulator, which is used by the U.S.
The robot is controlled through a two-way radio or a Fiber-optic link from a portable or wearable Operator Control Unit (OCU) that provides continuous data and video feedback for precise vehicle positioning. Its cargo bay accommodates a variety of sensor payloads. It weighs less than 100 lb (45 kg) or 60 lb (27 kg) for the Reconnaissance version. It has an 8.5 hour battery life at normal operating speeds, 2 standard lead batteries providing 2 hours each and 1 optional Lithium Ion providing an additional 4.5 hours. It can run off lithium-ion batteries for a maximum of 7 days on standby independently before needing recharging. Talon: The TALON transmits in color, black and white, infrared, and/or night vision to its operator, who may be up to 1,000 m away. type of explosive and/or explosive precursor component that the system is capable of detecting (metal, non-metal, radio controlled, etc.)Ī description of the characteristics includes:Īlso of concern are any hazard identifications, the impact of each system and/or technique on DOTMLPF-P, and acquisition recommendations.detection rate of explosives and/or explosive precursor components.7.2 Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS)ĭetection techniques and specific systems with assessed Technological Readiness Levels (TRLs) are described by both capabilities and characteristics.Ī list of detection techniques and systems' capabilities include:.7 Unmanned Systems intended for Counter-IED.5 Electronic countermeasures (jammers, ECM).4.1 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles.4 Armored/Mine-Resistant and Counter-IED Vehicles.
