BLOOD HOUND GANG

Blood Hound Gang is focused on route reconnaissance operations with solutions for ground teams and vehicles. Augmntr is providing systems engineering, payload development, Augmented Reality, and other technical support to this important effort, led by DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory.

Route reconnaissance in support of convoy operations remains a critical function to keep Soldiers safe from roadside explosive hazards, such as improvised explosive devices, unexploded ordnance, and landmines. These hazards continue to threaten operations abroad and continually prove to be an evolving and problematic adversarial tactic.

DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory continually strives to develop and transition technologies which provide Soldiers with explosive hazard indicators from safe standoff. ARL and other research collaborators were funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, via the Blood Hound Gang Program, which focuses on a system-of-systems approach to standoff explosive hazard detection.
