Project CU-1070: Low-Frequency Ultra-Wideband Synthesis Aperture Radar for Remote Detection of UXO.

Abstract

This interim annual report addresses FY97 accomplishments in the following areas: test site development, radar upgrade and evaluation, modeling and algorithm development, data collection, and published reports and technical papers. During the reporting period, ARL established a ground truthed/characterized UXO test site containing over 500 inert UXO items (including bombs, mortars, artillery, mines, rockets and submunitions) at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. This test site is a national asset available to other researchers and technology developers. In addition, many advancements were made in the areas of radar development, image formation, electro-magnetic modeling, and target detection algorithm development.
