Demonstration and Validation of the Seismic Acoustic Impact Monitoring and Assessment (SAIMA) System

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate and validate the Seismic Acoustic Impact Monitoring Assessment (SAIMA) system capabilities to detect, classify, locate, and report in near real-time artillery Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and Low-Order Ordnance Detonations (LOD) events, as well as High-Order Detonation (HOD) events. This system will provide added value knowledge for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel and environmental sampling teams of where to find UXO rounds and newly deposited Munition Constituents (MC) from LOD events. With immediate knowledge of individual UXO round locations will make prompt cleanup of these rounds possible, removing UXO rounds sooner will reduce the likelihood those rounds will be ruptured by subsequent detonations, thus reducing the incidence of MC deposits.
