Evaluation and Selection of Test Sites for BURMMS.

Abstract

This report develops a procedure for selection, identification, and evaluation of test sites to be used in the development of BURMMS (Buried Mine Minehunting System). Potential test sites are evaluated and ranked by this procedure. Panama City, Florida, Norfolk, Virginia, and New Orleans, Louisiana, are proposed as the primary BURMMS test sites. The site selection rationale is based on three categories of test site attributes: (1) environmental parameters of the bottom that influence mine burial prediction; (2) physical setting at the test sites in which operations will be performed; and (3) logistical aspects of utilizing the test sites.
