## Description

Neutralization In Challenging Environments Using Lethal Effects (NICELE) The U.S. Navy’s ExMCM forces confront a wide range of hazardous and explosive threats like underwater mines and Water-borne Improvised Explosive Devices (WBIED)s. ONR seeks to develop payloads that enable ExMCM forces to neutralize deep water mines and WBIEDs. A diver and/or ROV will deliver these payloads. Technologies developed may transition to the existing EOD Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response (MESR) program of record, which fields underwater capabilities required to counter threats in marine environments.
