These efforts were realised through the ITEP Work Plan. Its aim was to increase efficiency by avoiding duplications and feeding lessons learned back into the process. The main output was the publication of test results and their release worldwide. The ITEP Work Plan 2000 - 2010 summarises all national and collaborative test and evaluation activities that were carried out by the ITEP Participants during the ITEP lifespan. The project descriptions include, amongst other, summary conclusions and references to all published test reports and articles. The ITEP Work Plan 2000 – 2010 document complements the ITEP final report. For clarity the ITEP Work Plan 2000 – 2010 has been divided into six technical categories: survey, detection, mechanical assistance, personal protection, manual tools and neutralisation. A separate category was added to cover services provided by the ITEP Secretariat or some ITEP project management groups. All ITEP data will be transferred to the GICHD ensuring that ten years of ITEP work, experience and test results are not lost. Some of the ITEP projects will continue after the end of the ITEP program. Test results and eventual test reports for the latter projects will still be published as ITEP products and made publicly available through the GICHD web pages. 2 ITEP PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS 2.1 Overview Survey ......................................................................................................................................................9 Develop, test and evaluate a Danger Area Marking Kit (DAM kit) (Project 1.2.1) ..................9 Mine action PDA survey tool (Project 1.2.2 ). ..............................................................................10 Test and evaluation of EOD IS Survey, a computerised support system for mine action survey (Project 1.2.3).. .....................................................................................................................10 Development of the APOPO-PARADIS GIS (Project 1.2.4).......................................................11 Test and Evaluation of the generic SMART methodology (Project 1.2.5)................................12 Aerial vehicle mounted threat sensor package (ARGUS) (Project 1.2.6).. ...............................14 Detection................................................................................................................................................15 CEN Workshop Agreement on test and evaluation of metal detectors (Project 2.1.1.1).. .....15 Reliability model for metal detector evaluation (Project 2.1.1.2).. ............................................16 Test targets for test and evaluation of mine sensors (Project 2.1.1.3).. .....................................17 Soil characterisation for assessment of metal detector performance(Project 2.1.1.4).............18 Metal Detector Performance Project (MDPP) (Project 2.1.1.5)...................................................20 Suitability maps for metal detectors(Project 2.1.1.6)...................................................................21 ITEP Work Plan 2000 – 2010, Page 3/161 International Test and Evaluation Program for Humanitarian Demining Joint project Metal detectors for humanitarian demining -
