Background Characterization of the Response of Geophysical Sensors for Subsurface UXO Detection

Abstract

Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) was contracted by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to perform time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys at two sites. The TDEM surveys were conducted as a part of a study on the background characterization of the response of geophysical sensors used for subsurface unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection. This study was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in conjunction with WES, Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), Walcoff and Associates, and Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD).
