Sometimes it takes great teams to do great things, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head EOD Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD)’s Kimberly Peranich, the Naval Research Lab (NRL)’s Dr. Lauryn DeGreeff, Florida International University’s Alison Simon and the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) fit the bill. Peranich and DeGreeff are co-principle investigators in a project, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, entitled “Exploring the Generalization-Discrimination Balance in Odor Detection Canines.” The objective of the investigation is to determine how canines generalize and discriminate between related target odors andto determine if this can be influenced by training.
“Searching for and finding unexploded ordnance is par for the course for the warfighter,” said Peranich. “Canine detectors are the fastest and most sensitive sensor that the warfighter has in their toolkit.”
