Sequim Bay Underwater UXO (SBU2) Prototype Demonstration Site: Field Operations Summary, 2019

Abstract

This report provides a summary of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's (PNNL) activities to initiate Phase I of the Sequim Bay Underwater UXO (SBU2) test bed field operations that were conducted by PNNL's Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL) in FY 2019. The field operations were conducted in support of the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) underwater Munitions Response (MR) program that is developing standardized underwater unexploded ordnance (UXO) demonstration sites ("test beds") for the purpose of evaluating sensors, equipment, and technologies that can detect, characterize, and classify proud and buried munitions in shallow water (0-35 m) in a variety of substrates. Sequim Bay meets the qualifying criteria for a test bed. It is free of native UXO, contains appropriate substrate type and minimal clutter, with nearby operational, logistical and facilities support provided by PNNL.
