UXO Discrimination is a term used in the industry to define the ability of a geophysical sensor or process to distinguish a UXO item from a non-hazardous piece of scrap or metallic debris. A significant portion of DoD's research and development (R&D) budget related to UXO over the past seven (7) years (or more) has been dedicated to improving UXO discrimination capabilities. The idea is that improved UXO discrimination will result in a savings to DOD (i.e., less holes to dig as only known UXO items will be removed and non-hazardous scrap will be left in place).
