Demonstration of Advanced Geophysics and Classification Technologies on Munitions Response Sites
MR-201161
Demonstration Summary
This project will evaluate the performance of advanced geophysical technologies and their supporting data analysis methods, previously developed by SERDP and ESTCP, as part of the live site demonstrations. The specific objectives are to demonstrate the effectiveness and costs associated with implementing advanced techniques, promote stakeholder acceptance, assess the field-worthiness of these advanced technologies in a variety of production settings, and analyze the application of current industry policies and data quality standards to the advanced technologies. Successful demonstration in a production setting will accelerate industry use and government acceptance of these technologies, which have the potential to decrease program costs by reducing the number of anomalies excavated during munitions response. The demonstration will also highlight limitations of these technologies and identify where improvements can be made.
Technology Description
During this demonstration, Geometrics' MetalMapper, an advanced time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) system, and the handheld Man-Portable Vector (MPV), a programmable, wide-band, TEM sensor, will be used for data collection. The Oasis Montaj UX-Analyze module will be used to analyze the MetalMapper data and Sky Research's UXO Lab to analyze the MPV data. The data analysis will focus on discriminating potential munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) from harmless clutter.
