Objective
"The objective for the ENCOUNTER project is to identify, explore and validate both existing and innovative techniques for mitigation and neutralisation of found Improvised Explosive Devises (IED) in urban/civil environment.
ENCOUNTER will start off with revisiting actual practices. Relevant scenarios will be developed where different types of IEDs and different stand-off distances will be considered.
New innovative techniques for both mitigation and neutralisation of IEDs in urban/civil environment will be developed and evaluated. The techniques for neutralisation and mitigation will be tested according to the scenarios in terms of reliability and safety.
The outcome will be a recommendation matrix for the Police forces where they easily can chose the correct countermeasure for the current situation.
ENCOUNTER will also look into the legal and societal issues involved."
