Planned 2024 Tasks and Updates
The R&D tasks performed in this project change over time. Certain tasks are included each year, and sometimes new areas are explored based on feedback from the project stakeholders as older topics are discontinued. Recent tasks in the last few years have included topics such as the development of a substations field guide, and a primer on the use of facial recognition.
Project focus areas for 2024 include:
- Ballistics
- UAS and counter-UAS
- Barriers
- Detection Devices
- Robotics
Request for Samples
The project is always interested in getting samples of equipment for additional testing and/or forensic studies. While we’ll be happy accept almost any donation, the current items of highest interest include (alphabetically) samples of:
- Armor
- Concrete (walls/barriers)
- Equipment (transformers, bushings, conductors, insulators)
- Fencing (above simple chain-link)
