Airborne Tomography using Active Electromagnetics (ATAEM)

Abstract

(U) The Airborne Tomography using Active Electromagnetics (ATAEM) program is developing an active electromagnetic (EM) system for airborne imaging of subsurface structures, such as underground facilities (UGFs) or perimeter-breaching tunnels. The ATAEM system illuminates the ground with electromagnetic energy and interprets resulting distortions of the electric and magnetic fields to detect and characterize surreptitious structures. The ATAEM program will investigate and develop the component technologies, including EM illumination sources, noise-isolated sensor payloads and signal processing. ATAEM developed technology is expected to be available for transition to the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Special Operations Command in FY 2010.
