Development and Testing of an Engineering Prototype for a Marine Version of the Berkeley Unexploded Ordnance Discriminator (BUD): Phase II MBUD2: Development and Testing of a New Version of MBUD for Cued Classification of Marine UXOMBUD2: Development and Testing of a New Version of MBUD for Cued Classification of Marine UXO

Abstract

An improved version of the Marine UXO characterization system MBUD, called MBUD2, has been built and tested. The improved version has a new data acquisition system and incorporates technical modifications to eliminate the noise encountered in seawater with the MBUD1 version. The target is illuminated with fields from three orthogonal transmitters, and the signal is measured using four three component receivers. The receivers are arranged in a configuration that inherently cancels the response of the system to enclosing seawater, and to the response of the air-sea interface for shallow deployments.
