or more easily transported EDTs -- may be necessary but not sufficient to meet the Army's needs, especially at the large TECHNOLOGIES WITH TARGETED R&D NEEDS burial sites, where hundreds of thousands of potentially contaminated items will have to be assessed and treated and Robotic Excavation Equipment where existing procedures, while effective, may prove to be too slow or cumbersome for the quantities involved. It is As discussed in the section on robotic excavation equippossible that at these sites, it will be necessary to design and ment in Chapter 4, robotic technology has continued to grow construct facilities where recovered items, whether found in versatility and reliability.
