Aim: identify techniques/methods to improve speed, safety and assurance for culvert inspection on the presence of IEDs Wide range of techniques/methods: UGVs, UAV, dogs (with enhancements, e.g. camera), GPR and Lidar (both for change detection), SWIR hyperspectral imager

Observations: No single sensor can detect all route threats (IED types, ways of emplacement and concealment, etc.) A combination of detection sensors is necessary to counter the threat Research question: Research question: Can we determine the most optimal combinations of sensor technologies?
