Orlando, FL. June 10, 2004 – Coalescent Technologies Corporation announced the follow-on contract award of Instructional Systems Development (ISD) for the Mine Clearing/ Survivable Vehicle (MCSV). The MCSV is being developed by the Humanitarian De-mining Research and Development program within the Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Tens of millions of land mines, anti-personnel mines, and unexploded ordinance remain operative after armed military conflicts and pose great danger to civilian populations, in many countries throughout the world. The detection, and safe removal of these land mines poses a great technical challenge to affected countries. The objective of the Humanitarian De-mining Program is to develop vehicles and technologies that can safely remove anti-personnel mines using specially modified, ruggedized commercial equipment.

                                

Coalescent Technologies has been contracted to assist the Department of Defense with this program, to perform the training systems analysis, develop Operator and Maintenance procedures, and develop both video-based and computer-based instructional media for the humanitarian de-mining equipment.
