Empirical Investigation of the Factors Influencing Marine Applications of EMI
Abstract
This report documents results from a series of measurements of target electromagnetic induction (EMI) responses in a large salt water tank, and background EMI responses in various salt water and sedimentary environments along the York River, VA estuary. The electronics and data acquisition system used in the tests was a standard transient EMI (TEM) package used for munitions detection and classification on land. For the tank tests, targets included simple aluminum and steel test items (spheres, spheroids and cylinders) as well as inert ordnance items. The basic test protocol involved carefully measuring and comparing target and background responses in air and in the water.
