Future Areas of Focus

1. The signature for an Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP) – devise a sensor suite to recognize the signature and defeat the EFP

2. Tools for understanding dynamic social networks as we target, attack and disrupt them

3. Stand-off detection of Improvised Explosive Devices and their components

4. Better ways to detect other components of Improvised Explosive Devices such as passive infra-red sensors and command wires in urban and rural terrain

5. New sensors for the growing set of Unmanned Aerial Vehiclebased Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) programs
