Standoff Diagnostic Technologies for (Surface) Unexploded Explosive Ordnance and Improvised Explosive Devices
The U.S. Government is seeking information on non-invasive standoff diagnostic technologies for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams, capable of operating at distances of 3 feet or more to determine the operational status of hazards like UXOs and IEDs. Key objectives include identifying tools that can assess armed/unarmed conditions, battery levels, fuze functioning, and other threats from a safe distance, while excluding conventional radiographic technologies and capabilities below Technology Readiness Level 5. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Center (EODTECHCEN) is conducting this market research, with no budget specified and no award resulting from this RFI. Performance of services is not specified, as this is an information-gathering effort. Submissions are limited to five pages and must be transmitted electronically within 30 days of the posting date.
