Test Array Number 1 for Mine Detection Experiments.
Abstract
To provide for the conduct of remote mine detection tests, a test array was established on a twenty-acre site in Washtenaw County, MI approximately one mile west of Ann Arbor Airport. The topography, soil, and vegetation of the site is representative of the North German Plain. The total area, roughly 200 m by 400 m, was divided into 16 rectangular areas or elements, each 50 m by 100 m in size. Each of the elements was used for installation of dummy mines, either surface or buried, in specific configurations, for the location of various ancillary military items, as an undisturbed control area, or for the location of special instrumentation or calibration units. Configurations of each element are documented, and data are presented on test site vegetation, soil conditions, and soil moisture content, also on meteorological conditions during periods when overflights were made for mine detection tests of various sensors.
