Research and development (R&D) of stand-off detection methods is essential for responding to and defeating these threats. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide data regarding new technologies for stand-off detection. The proposed action would conduct field testing of short and long range detection equipment to evaluate the capture efficiency of stand-off detection devices.
