Book Synopsis Unexploded Ordnance Detection and Mitigation by : James Byrnes
Download or read book Unexploded Ordnance Detection and Mitigation written by James Byrnes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume were presented at the July–August 2008 NATO Advanced Study Institute on Unexploded Ordnance Detection and Mitigation. The conference was held at the beautiful Il Ciocco resort near Lucca, in the glorious Tuscany region of northern Italy. For the ninth time we gathered at this idyllic spot to explore and extend the reciprocity between mathematics and engineering. The dynamic interaction between world-renowned scientists from the usually disparate communities of pure mathematicians and applied scientists which occurred at our eight previous ASI’s continued at this meeting. The detection and neutralization of unexploded ordnance (UXO) has been of major concern for very many decades; at least since the First World war. UXO continues to be the subject of intensive research in many ?elds of science, incl- ing mathematics, signal processing (mainly radar and sonar) and chemistry. While today’s headlines emphasize the mayhem resulting from the placement of imp- vised explosive devices (IEDs), humanitarian landmine clearing continues to draw signi?cant global attention as well. In many countries of the world, landmines threaten the population and hinder reconstruction and fast, ef?cient utilization of large areas of the mined land in the aftermath of military con?icts.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexploded ordnance (UXO) is a worldwide problem, which causes deaths and injuries to people living in post-conflict areas. It also prevents former military training sites from being returned to civilian use before they are properly cleaned. UXO cleaning is both dangerous and expensive. Metal detectors are the most common method used in UXO detection since reliable explosive detecting methods are not available at the current stage. Traditional metal detectors are unable to distinguish between targets of interest (TOI) and non-harzardous metallic clutter. As a result, UXO clean up could end up with about 95% of the digging to be clutter. To overcome this problem, new generation electromagnetic induction systems have recently been developed for subsurface target detection and classification. One of such system is the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System (TEMTADS), which provides high fidelity EM data for target classification. UXO classification consists of three main steps: 1: Data collection; 2: Data inversion and target parameter extraction; 3: Target discrimination. In this thesis we present TEMTADS data sets inversion and processing approaches for cued (static) and dynamic (moving) measurements. Instead of using traditional matrix inversion and iterative search methods to tackle the highly non-linear problem of target locating, we employ the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for fast and accurate estimation of target locations. The MUSIC algorithm is based on the orthogonality between the signal and noise subspaces in the multi static response (MSR) matrix of targets. In general, to identify the boundary between the two subspaces for actual data is a difficult task. To overcome this, joint-diagonalization (JD) is integrated into the processing. Namely, we use JD to estimate the number of sources presenting in a data set and to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The entire process is automated. Studies are done for test stand and blind data sets. Our results showed that the combined JD-MUSIC algorithm can be used to estimate target locations in near real time. The JD algorithm and Orthonormalized Volume Magnetic Source (ONVMS) model is extended for dynamic TEMTADS anomaly mapping and target picking. The algorithms were tested on data sets collected at live UXO sites in Camp Hale, Colorado. The study shows that JD and ONVMS provide underground target picking and preliminary classification capabilities, if clear background data can be provided. Comparison of inverted parameters between cued and dynamic data suggests that dynamic data can provide generally same value as cued data for classification purpose under good SNR conditions, thus the number of cued measurements needed can be reduced.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prospect of using sensor technology for the detection and location of surface and subsurface Ordnance and Explosive Waste (OEW) is assessed to determine its suitability for operations on formerly used defense sites (FUDS). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Division, has identified over 900 potential OEW sites, of which as many as 300 may be classified as an imminent hazard. Cleanup of the OEW sites is estimated to cost several billion dollars. However, this cost will increase since the Army is still in the process of identifying contaminated OEW sites. In addition, Department of Defense (DoD) ordnance test ranges, such as the Yuma Proving Ground, contain many types of unexploded ordnance, making the cleanup task more complex. Today, several types of electromagnetic sensors have successfully been used for site characterization. In this report, we have assessed over 30 state-of-the-art and emerging technologies for their applicability to site characterization. This assessment will enable the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and others to better address the ever-increasing site cleanup problem. Information required to select the appropriate sensors is provided within this document. Over one-hundred sensor technology products and services are surveyed, providing an in-depth summary of technology that can be brought to bear on the OEW problem. In the future, sensor suites and data processing utilizing data fusion should be utilized in less labor-intensive approaches to enhance productivity and increase quality of OEW detection and location.

This book was released on 2000-05-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just below our feet is an environment that supports our infrastructure, yields water, provides for agriculture, and receives our waste. Our capacity to describe, or characterize, this environment is crucial to the solution of many resource, environmental, and engineering problems. And just as medical imaging technologies have reduced the need for exploratory surgeries, a variety of technologies hold the promise for rapid, relatively inexpensive noninvasive characterization of the Earth's subsurface. Seeing into the Earth examines why noninvasive characterization is important and how improved methods can be developed and disseminated. Looking at the issues from both the commercial and public perspectives, the volume makes recommendations for linking characterization and cost savings, closing the gap between the state of science and the state of the practice, and helping practitioners make the best use of the best methods. The book provides background on: The role of noninvasive subsurface characterization in contaminant cleanup, resource management, civil engineering, and other areas. The physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties that are characterized. Methods of characterization and prospects for technological improvement. Certain to be important for earth scientists and engineers alike, this book is also accessible to interested lay readers.
