Dramatic Improvements in UXO Detection Using Discrimination and Dual-Mode Sensor Technology

Uxo Discrimination Using Time Domain Electromagnetic Induction

An explosive ordnance is a munition that is either launched or fired with the intent of detonation at a specified target. An unexploded ordnance (UXO) is an explosive ordnance that, due to some malfunction, remains undetonated. As a result, the ordnance can be found at the ground surface, partially buried, or buried at a depth of up to 8 m beneath the surface. Practical and cost-effective strat...

Improving UXO discrimination using magnetic quadrupole moments

Currently there are no UXO discrimination techniques based on total-field magnetic sensor data that rely on multipole expansion parameters of higher order than the dipole. In some cases, however, it can be advantages to describe a UXO target with both dipole and quadrupole parameters. In this paper, we examine the properties of the quadrupole moment and illustrate them using a synthetic example...

Advanced Magnetic System for UXO Detection and Discrimination

UXO Detection Techniques Using Sonar and Radar

Several approaches to the detection of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) in the ground are discussed. Methods exploiting the coupling of sound into the earth are shown to have promise. These approaches can use both linear and non-linear phenomena as clues. Also discussed is the potential of a ground penetrating radar method that is based on a nonlinear phenomenon.
