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.

Book excerpt: Karen Coates and Jerry Redfern spent more than seven years traveling in Laos, talking to farmers, scrap-metal hunters, people who make and use tools from UXO, people who hunt for death beneath the earth and render it harmless. With their words and photographs, they reveal the beauty of Laos, the strength of Laotians, and the commitment of bomb-disposal teams. People take precedence in this account, which is deeply personal without ever becoming a polemic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval EOD Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) released the Iraq And Afghanistan Ordnance Identification Guides in support of the U.S. Department of Defense humanitarian mine action program. These guide provides information to facilitate international unexploded ordnance (UXO) awareness and identification. These Guides are not intended for use by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians. Rather, it is designed for other personnel who, of necessity, are trying to identify ordnance in the absence of trained EOD military professionals. They are categorized by major UXO categories, with each section classifying and providing descriptions of specific UXO. These Guides provides detailed information on the following: Bombs Dispensers, clusters and launchers Projectiles Fuzes/firing devices Grenades Rockets Guided missiles Landmines Pyrotechnics Miscellaneous explosive devices Naval mines Depth charges/underwater UXO Scatterables Weapon systems
Book Synopsis Chemical Weapons Destruction and Explosive Waste by : Robert Noyes
Download or read book Chemical Weapons Destruction and Explosive Waste written by Robert Noyes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-12-31 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the more difficult environmental problems facing the Department of Defense (DOD) include (1) chemical weapons destruction, (2) explosive waste remediation, and (3) unexploded ordnance clearance and extraction. It is conceivable that $50 to $100 billion will be spent by DOD for these three programs, offering unusual opportunities for environmental engineering and related firms. Military installations are similar to small cities in terms of population, industrial activities, and some types of contaminated sites. However, some cover an area larger than a small state. DOD has operated industrial facilities on its installations for several decades that have generated, stored, recycled, or disposed of hazardous wastes. Many of these activities have contaminated the nearby soil and groundwater. To study and clean up contaminated sites, DOD established the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) in 1975. In 1984, the IRP was made part of the Defense Environmental Restoration Program. The Secretary of Defense delegated cleanup responsibility to the Army, Navy, the Air Force, and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Cleanup actions are usually accomplished under contract with private firms, which are monitored by the services. Most cleanup actions are funded through the Defense Environmental Restoration Account (DERA) and the Base Realignment and Closure Account. Congress established DERA in 1984 to fund the cleanup of inactive contaminated sites on DOD installations. The technology to clean up the conventional hazardous wastes on DOD sites are the same as those utilized for industrial sites, and well-documented by this publisher. However, there are three DOD programs that require the utilization of somewhat unusual or different technologies that have not been as well documented. These three programs are: 1. Chemical weapons destruction 2. Remediation of explosives contaminated soils and lagoons 3. Unexploded ordnance detection, clearance, and extraction This book discusses the current and potential treatment technologies involved in these three programs.

Download or read book Discrimination of Subsurface Unexploded Ordnance written by Kevin A. O'Neill and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexploded ordnance (UXO) pose a persistent and expensive problem throughout the world; over 11 million acres are potentially contaminated in the U.S. alone. However, detection requires a very high degree of reliability, the false alarm rate is typically enormous, and cleanup costs are very high. This Tutorial Text addresses the unique challenges of UXO detection and the following topics: fundamental physics and phenomenology; new, successful modeling and analysis methods; the design, development, and testing of new instruments that provide expanded and superior data; innovative processing techniques; and highly successful discrimination performance in blind field tests at standardized sites. The book is written for lay scientists and engineers, as well as specialists in the field, requiring only some familiarity with basic vector calculus and matrix methods, common statistical concepts, and elementary physics.

The Task Force concluded that technology can help in both situations, but changes are needed in the current cleanup process and in future live-fire practices.
Book Synopsis Military Munitions and Explosives of Concern by : Bureau of Land Management
Download or read book Military Munitions and Explosives of Concern written by Bureau of Land Management and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 40 national wildlife refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(FWS), and between 200 and 300 forme rly used defense sites (FUDS) managed by the Bureau of Lund Management (BLM), still have munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) on-site. Therefore, land managers must be prepared for rhe possibility that personnel, authorized users (i.e., oil gas operator, former, rancher, etc.), or visitors will encJunter unexploded ordnance (UXO) or discarded military munitions(DMM) on certain public lands and refuges. IJXO and DMM encounters th t cause injury or death have been rare. However, public use of BLM and FWS lands is increasing, alcng with the potential for exposure to UXO and DMM. The BLM and FWS developed this handbook to provide managers with important information on what lo do when UXO and DMM are encountered and how to minimize the likelihood of an incident leading to injury or death."
