Book excerpt: To fully characterize the inductive response of an isolated conductive object, such as buried unexploded ordinance, one needs to measure its response to stimulation by primary magnetic fields in three linearly independent (e.g., approximately orthogonal) directions. In one embodiment this is achieved by measuring the response to magnetic fields of three independent transmitters arranged to have magnetic fields that are linearly independent. According to the apparatus and methods employing the system of this invention, multiple transmitters and receivers of known relative position and orientation on a single platform are used. In a preferred embodiment, matched sets of receiver pairs connected in gradient mode are positioned adjacent to closely spaced pairs of transmitting coils, such that a minor displacement of one or both of the receiver coil pairs relative to the paired transmitting coils will not affect the detected secondary signals emitted by a buried metallic object.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), consisting of bombs, projectiles, mortars, small arms, and submunitions, is the legacy of military troop training and weapon system testing. Department of Defense Force reductions over the past decades have resulted in real property being identified for alternate uses. Moreover, the cost to remediate these properties were estimated to be more than $48 billion. Through a series of commercial technology demonstrations at Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG), Indiana, the Government concluded that current technology does not provide effective and economical methods for UXO characterization and remediation. The results of the JPG demonstrations also indicated that using multiple sensors to characterize buried UXO may yield greater detection capability and reduced false alarrus. This report provides an assessment of the Subsurface Ordnance Characterization System (SOCS) during tests performed at JPG and Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB). SOCS is a testbed system that is used to evaluate various sensors, combinations of sensors, autonomous control and navigation equipment, operating parameters, and data analysis techniques. Specific tests were performed using an array of magnetometers and ground penetrating radar to assess the feasibility of an autonomous, multiple sensor system for characterizing buried UXO.

Download or read book Demonstration of Airborne Electromagnetic Systems for Detection and Characterization of Unexploded Ordnance at the Badlands Bombing Range, South Dakota. Revision 3 written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a set of field tests conducted at Badlands Bombing Range (BBR) in South Dakota in September 2002. The primary goal of the field tests was to evaluate parameters critical to the design of an airborne electromagnetic system capable of detecting a variety of buried ordnance. The resulting system, called ORAGS-TEM, was patterned after the low-flying helicopter magnetic systems under development at ORNL through separate SERDP/ESTCP programs. Thus, the ORAGS-TEM has a frame mounted, multiple sensor design that permits helicopter surveys at altitudes as low as one meter over UXO-contaminated terrain. As with the magnetic systems, GPS and laser altimetry provide precise positioning to within a few tens of centimeters.

Download or read book Review of Unexploded Ordnance Detection Demonstrations at the Badlands Bombing Range--NRL Multisensor Towed-Array Detection System (MTADS) and ORNL High-Sense Helicopter-Mounted Magnetic Mapping (HM3) System written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports on demonstrations of two sensor systems conducted at the Badlands Bombing Range in South Dakota. The first demonstration, conducted in 1997 by the Naval Research Laboratory, used the Multisensor Towed Array Detection System. The second demonstration, conducted in 1999 by the Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, used a high-sense helicopter-mounted magnetic mapping system. The systems were evaluated individually and compared to each other. Based on this analysis, the paper concludes that the most appropriate use for the technologies may be in different missions and recommends that revamped testing, with better ground truth, be conducted.

Download or read book Sensor Technology Assessment for Ordnance and Explosive Waste Detection and Location. Revision B. written by and published by . 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive new resource analyzes sources of noise and clutter that magnetic sensing system developers encounter. This book guides practitioners in designing and building low noise and low power consumption magnetic measurement systems. Various examples of magnetic surveillance and survey systems are provided. This book enables system designers to obtain an all-inclusive spectral understanding of typical sources of noise and clutter present in the system and environment for each application, in order to successfully design stable and sensitive low power magnetic sensing devices. Detection and localization methods are explored, as well as deterministic and heuristics algorithms which are an integral part of any magnetic sensing system. This book is aimed to eliminate some of the "black magic" manipulations present during low noise magnetic measurements. The book meticulously describes, analyzes and quantifies the variables that affect low noise measurement systems. Readers are able to understand sources of measurements irregularities and how to effectively mitigate them. Moreover, this book also presents low power magnetometers and dedicated low noise sampling techniques.

Download or read book Existing and Potential Standoff Explosives Detection Techniques written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-05-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing and Potential Standoff Explosives Detection Techniques examines the scientific techniques currently used as the basis for explosives detection and determines whether other techniques might provide promising research avenues with possible pathways to new detection protocols. This report describe the characteristics of explosives, bombs, and their components that are or might be used to provide a signature for exploitation in detection technology; considers scientific techniques for exploiting these characteristics to detect explosives and explosive devices; discusses the potential for integrating such techniques into detection systems that would have sufficient sensitivity without an unacceptable false-positive rate; and proposes areas for research that might be expected to yield significant advances in practical explosives and bomb detection technology in the near, mid, and long term.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexploded ordnance (UXO) cleanup is the number one priority Army installation remediation/restoration requirement The problem is enormous in scope, with millions of acres and hundreds of sites potentially contaminated. Before the UXO can be recovered and destroyed, it must be located. UXO location requires surface geophysical surveys. The geophysical anomalies caused by the UXO must be detected, discriminated from geophysical anomalies caused by other sources, and ideally identified or classified. Recent UXO technology demonstrations, live site demonstrations, and practical UXO surveys for site cleanup confirm that most UXO anomalies can be detected (with probabilities of detection of 90 percent or better), however there is little evidence of discrimination capability (i.e., the false alarm rates are high), and there is no identification capability. Approaches to simultaneously increase probability of detection and decrease false alarm rate and ultimately to give identification/classification capability involve rational multisensor data integration for discrimination and advanced development of new and emerging technology for enhanced discrimination and identification. The goal of multisensor data integration is to achieve true joint inversion of data to a best-fitting model using realistic physics-based models that replicate UXO geometries and physical properties of the UXO and surrounding geologic materials. Data management, analysis, and display procedures for multisensor data are investigated. The role of empirical, quasi-empirical, and analytical modeling for UXO geophysical signature prediction are reviewed and contrasted with approaches that require large signature databases (e.g., expert systems, neural nets, signature database comparison) for training or best-fit comparison. A magnetic modeling capability is developed, validated, and documented that uses a prolate spheroid model of UXO.
