### Project CD3 — Counter Improvised-Threat Simulation

This project develops, matures, and demonstrates technologies for detecting, geolocating, classifying, and defeating existing and emerging explosive hazards to include mines, minefields, and other complex obstacles to enable remote breaching, combat engineer modernization, and freedom of maneuver. The goal of this project is to enable automated sensing integrated with defeat methods to maintain the necessary rate of advance to support breach operations under stressing operational conditions and environments. Work in this project complements Program Element (PE) 0602134A (Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced Studies) / Project CD2 (Counter Improvised-Threat Advanced). Work in this project is executed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) in coordination with the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (USD (R&E) with work being led by Joint Service laboratories in partnerships with industry and academia.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
