IMCSE Council Member Mike Groves has been an enthusiastic proponent of an MSc Student Award for several years. His endeavour has recently come to fruition in the form of a silver salver and cash prize to be awarded to the Cranfield University post graduate student whose research makes the greatest contribution to munition clearance or search and detection disciplines. Mike a former Commanding Officer of 11 EOD Battalion, now 11 EOD & Search Regiment RLC, and an explosives engineering instructor at the Royal Military College of Science gained the support of the IMCSE Council for the award to encourage and provide recognition of the development of technologies that have the potential to assist in the global effort to mitigate munition threats. In addition to the millions of legacy munitions current terrorist campaigns and conflicts utilise increasingly sophisticated munitions and means of concealment that require an equally sophisticated search, detection, neutralisation and effect mitigation response. The annual award winner will be selected by the Cranfield University Examination Board and the winners name will be engraved on the salver which will be retained on display in the Shrivenham Faculty of the University.
