Detection | Anti-Personnel Landmine Detection Technology Survey and Assessment | The short report is an assessment of some of the technologies that might be applicable in detecting landmines. The report looks at some of the commercial systems available as well as some of the promising R&D efforts. The report came to well known conclusion that a combination of sensors through sensor
fusion and data fusion may provide better probablity of detection rates with higher degrees of confidence. An report also took a brief look at other disiplines that may have some applicability in the landmine detection problem. | Web Link |
Detection | Evaluation of MTADS at JPG 1997 | This document analyzes the results of a test of the MTADS vehicle towed sensor array at the Jefferson Proving Grounds in 1997. Shows favorable results for MTADS but no real technological advancements / conclusions - reads like a commercial for MTADS. | Web Link |
Detection | Handheld Time Domain EMID (TEMID) Sensor System | A presentation of the time domain EM induction metal detector - hard to follow briefing. | Web Link |
Detection | Research on GPR For Detection of Mines and UXO: Current Status and Research Strategy. Dec 1999 | The report documents the results, conclusions and recommendations of an assessment of the current research efforts with GPR systems. GPR has been around for years and the Government has spent millions on the technology with no GPR system fielded. There are many different opinions on GPR and its capabilities. Some scientists consider GPR to be the answer while others would like to see funding diverted into other technology areas. The report does a good job of trying to put a handle around GPR and suggests an outline for future focus areas. A good report that may provide industry some guidance on which aspects of GPR to focus on. | Web Link |
Policy | AMSAA Report - no date | A report that was prepared in order to provide supporting analysis to a UXO study committee?. The U.S. Army Material Systems analysis Activity (AMSAA) conducted the analysis and helped the committee to define an Army position on UXO. The report makes some overall general observations and comments on UXO which traditionally known throughout the industry. The report does provide some interesting statistics on UXO from the un-official Army perspective however some of the stats may be misleading. According to the report only a few munitions are responsible for most of the Army UXO. These munitions include the 155mm and the 8-inch DPICM artillery and the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). I guess they never been to Ft. Ord or one of the many FUD sites. | Web Link |
Detection | Wideband Time and Frequency Domain EMI: Phenomenology and Signal Processing | This report reads more like a physics book that anything else. A good source for explaining the physics behind frequency and time domain electromagnetics. Recommended for engineers or geophysics who are designing instruments or want to learn more about the science behind the technology. Not recommended for someone who doesnt have a technical background or interest in physics. | Web Link |
Detection | DARPA Mine Detection Field Experiment Using RF | A report on a synthetic aperture radar system demonstration that was conducted at Ft Carson, Colorado. The report describes the data acquisition process, data processing and imaging activities of the conducted survey. The report is recommended for someone that wants information on synthetic aperture radar system and data processing techniques. It offers a good discussion on the data processing techniques available for radar. | Web Link |
Detection | Magnetic Background Survey For UXO and Mine Detection - Nov 1996. | The report describes high resolution magnetic surveys of two sites at Ft A.P. Hill, VA and two sites at Ft. Carson, CO. The objectives were to characterize the background and to understand the effect of clutter on the detection of buried UXO and landmines. Cesium vapor magnetometers were used in the surveys. Recommended for people who are interested in clutter and magnetic surveys. Provides examples of magnetics data however, the graphics could use some work. | Web Link |
Detection | A Theoretical Performance Analysis and Simulation of Time Domain EMI Sensor Data for Landmine Detection | The paper examines the physical phenomenology of EM sensors and models exponential damping as a function of time looking at the initial magnitude and decay rate. The paper reads more like a physics book. The paper is recommended for an engineer or geophysics with an interest in the physics behind the EM sensor. | Web Link |
Detection | Classification of Landmine-like Metal Targets Using Wideband EM | A continuation in the series of physics based reports this one investigates a prototype wideband frequency domain EM sensor. An algorithm that incorporates a theoretical response of a sensor and the uncertainties regarding the target/sensor orientation is discussed. Recommended for engineers and geophysics with an interest in the theory behind sensors and algorithms. | Web Link |
Detection | Results of the MTADS Technology Demonstration at JPG Phase III | A paper on the Naval Research Lab (NRL) sponsored MTADS towed system. The paper reads almost like a sales brochure for the MTADS system and highlights the features and capabilities of the system. Survey data images are included in the report. The report does spend a significant amount of time explaining and disagreeing with the Naval EOD Technology Divisions analysis of the JPG Phase III results. One Navy lab disagreeing with another Navy lab always makes for interesting reading. Recommended for people interested in towed arrays, data analysis and a touch of controversy. | Web Link |
Detection | Evaluation of the MTADS System Performance at JPG Phase III | A continuation of the theme from the report above but with more of a scientific approach with additional theory to support NRLs position on the performance of their MTADS technology at JPG Phase III. The JPG tests probably cost the Navy a significant amount of funds to run and analyze the data not to mention the money the Navy spent on the other side disputing the Navys results? Despite of the Navy vs. Navy flavor the report does raise some issues about data analysis standards and procedures. Recommend for people who are interested in data analysis. | Web Link |
Environmental | Draft Environmental Assessment - Resumption of Use of DU Rounds at Nellis AFB. | Nellis Air Force Base uses depleted uranium (DU) rounds during the course of training to provide a realistic combat training environment. This Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the impacts of implementing proposed actions and alternatives involving the use of DU. The proposed action evaluated includes the use of DU munition for training and test/evaluation purposes. The alternatives evaluated are: (1) the use of DU munition, but at lesser quantities; and (2) a no DU action alternative. The draft environmental assessment provides some background on DU and the environment and provides a good but limited discussion of potential DU impacts. | Web Link |
Environmental | Depleted Uranium - The Truth and Nothing But | A report on DU from a training developer's perspective. A well written report tailored for the lehman who doesn't have an in-depth knowledge of DU. The report talks about some of the mis-conceptions that are normally associated with DU and provides advise on how soliders can protect themselves from what hazards do exist. | Web Link |
Technology | Mini-Flail Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques and Procedures. | The mini-flail is a remote operated tool designed to rapidly clear mines and shallow buried uxo. The system is basically a wheeled robot that has a flail at the front end which when rotated strikes the ground violently disrupting and destroying almost anything it its path. The document is a draft of the doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures for the flail system. The flail or versions of it have been around for many years and has proven to be an effective tool for rapid clearance of mines and shallow uxo. | Web Link |
