Magnetic Background Survey for UXO and Mine Detection

Abstract

Geometrics, with support from Blackhawk Geometrics and AETC, carried out detailed, high resolution magnetic surveys of two sites at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia and two sites at Fort Carson, Colorado. In addition, time-domain electromagnetic surveys were conducted over portions of the two Fort Carson sites. The objectives of the program were to: Characterize the magnetic background sufficiently over one hectare test areas (100 m x 100 m) to aid in the understanding of the effect of magnetic "clutter" on the detection of buried UXO and landmines; Survey over adjacent areas with UXO items and landmines; Use the highest possible survey data sampling within the constraints of time and cost.
