The Project Manager, Robotics Systems Joint Project Office (RS JPO) located at the United States Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) in Warren, Michigan is seeking to identify sources capable of providing an explosive detection device (EDD) capability that can be either handheld or integrated on a UGV.

During full spectrum operations the EDD will screen persons, packages and cargo, other equipment, vehicles and buildings and will report vapor detections in real time with audio and visual feedback to the operator. The EDD can be integrated onto a UGV to provide additional standoff and Soldier safety when IEDs and other explosive threats are suspected. 2. Market Survey Request.
