What's New in ITEP
(Printer-friendly version)| 17 July 2010 | | End of the ITEP program | The ITEP program, which started in July 2000, officially closed down on 17 July 2010, after 10 years of activities in the area of test and evaluation of humanitarian demining equipment and methods. The ITEP final report provides an overview of the ITEP work and accomplishments while detailed descriptions of the ITEP activities are available in the ITEP Work Plan 2000 – 2010.
The ITEP website is being transferred to the GICHD ensuring that ten years of ITEP work, experience and test results are not lost. While for some of the ITEP Participants (Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands) the end of the ITEP program is linked to the end of their activities in the area of test and evaluation (T&E) for humanitarian demining, national T&E programs will continue in the United States, as a dedicated program, and in Sweden focusing on dual-use demining equipment. Canada’s future involvement in T&E of demining technology will be limited to military applications only, possibly including dual-use equipment. The experience gathered by individuals in the different ITEP Participants’ nations will however remain accessible for future demining technology test and evaluation requirements.
Some of the ITEP projects will continue after the end of the ITEP program in July 2010. Test results and eventual test reports will still be published as ITEP products and made publicly available through the GICHD technology webpages. |
