Mobile Underwater Debris Survey System (MUDSS)
Abstract
This report documents results of the Mobile Underwater Debris Survey System (MUDSS) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) project that was conducted in two phases over the period of 1995 through 1998. MUDSS Phase I included a set of two successful feasibility demonstrations. The feasibility demonstrations included an at-sea demonstration of a multi-sensor MUDSS prototype against unexploded ordnance (UXO) targets in the late summer of 1995, and a demonstration of trace explosive detection in sediment samples taken near underwater UXO in October 1996. MUDSS Phase II included development and demonstration of an advanced and refined MUDSS survey system using the experience with the MUDSS prototype of Phase I. MUDSS Phase II technology demonstration was held at a former practice-bombing site in November 1998. The MUDSS technology demonstration resulted in a successful mapping of suspected UXO in an environmentally difficult, muddy UXO site.
