Standardized UXO Technology Demonstration Site Blind Grid Scoring Record No. 37, Site Location: Aberdeen Proving Ground

Abstract

This firing record documents the efforts of Zonge Engineering utilizing the APG Standardized UXO Technology Demonstration Site Blind Grid. The firing record was coordinated by Larry Overbay and was coordinated by the Standardized UXO Technology Demonstration Site Program Scoring Committee. Organizations on the committee include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, the Institute for Defense Analysis, the U.S. Army Environmental Center, and the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center. The objective in the standardized UXO Technology Demonstration Site Program is to evaluate the detection and discrimination capabilities of a given technology under various field and soil conditions. Inert munitions and clutter items are positioned in various orientations and depths in the ground. Data is being developed for the scoring committee through demonstration activities at the standardized test sites to assess the following performance matrices: a. Detection and discrimination under realistic scenarios that vary targets, geology, clutter, topography, and vegetation. b. Cost, time and manpower requirements. c. Ability to analyze survey data in a timely manner and provide prioritized "Target Lists" with associated confidence levels. d. Collection of high quality, ground-truth, geo-referenced data for post-demonstration analysis.
