Demonstration of Crawler-Towed Sensor Technologies in Challenging Nearshore Sites

Abstract

The overarching goal of this demonstration project was to assess a combination of platform and sensing systems in order to deliver a UXO mapping survey and characterization technology in very challenging nearshore environments. Nearshore environments such as surf zones, salt marshes, shallow bays and tidal estuaries are particularly challenging from the standpoint of mobility and stability of sensing platforms in order to acquire high quality geophysical data.
