The 5th meeting of the SCI-298 Research Task Group (RTG), “Identification and Neutralization Methods and Technologies for C-IED,” was held at the U.S. General Consulate, Frankfurt, Germany, from 07 to 09 May 19. The meeting was supported by Technology department Head LTC Waclawik from EOD COE.
The RTG reviewed the six Identification and Neutralization scenarios identified at the 4th SCI-298 meeting and reduced the number of scenarios to five as well as threats per each scenario. Moreover, the chairman outlined the TRG final report structure and discussed the way-ahead for this research programme.

The Science & Technology Board (STB) constitutes the highest authority within the Science and Technology Organization (STO). It is the policy body tasked by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) through the Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD) and Military Committee (MC) to carry out the mission of the STO.
Currently six countries (AUS, DEU, FRA, GBR, NLD, USA) and six international institutions (STO, CSO SCI Panel, C-IED COE, EOD COE, MILENG COE, ACT) are participating in the project.
