Empirical Evaluation of Advanced Electromagnetic Induction Systems - Factors Affecting Classification Effectiveness in Challenging Geologic Environments

Abstract

CH2M performed an Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) Munitions Response Live Site Demonstration at Munitions Response Site (MRS) R-04A West, at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TOAR) Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS), in Pennsylvania, in the summer of 2015.The demonstration involved the participation of two advanced electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors and was designed to investigate the use of these advanced EMI sensors at a densely wooded site with challenging microterrain features (e.g., impact craters, rocks, boulders, gullies) for detecting munitions down to the size of 37-millimeter projectiles.
