Review of Unexploded Ordnance Detection Demonstrations at the Badlands Bombing Range--NRL Multisensor Towed-Array Detection System (MTADS) and ORNL high-Sense Helicopter-Mounted Magnetic Mapping (HM3) System.

摘要

This paper reports on demonstrations of two sensor systems conducted at the Badlands Bombing Range in South Dakota. The first demonstration, conducted in 1997 by the Naval Research Laboratory, used the Multisensor Towed Array Detection System. The second demonstration, conducted in 1999 by the Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, used a high-sense helicopter-mounted magnetic mapping system. The systems were evaluated individually and compared to each other. Based on this analysis, the paper concludes that the most appropriate use for the technologies may be in different missions and recommends that revamped testing, with better ground truth, be conducted.
