MTADS Airborne and Vehicular Survey of Target S1 at Isleta Pueblo, Albuquerque, NM, 17 February-2 March 2003
Abstract
In February 2003, the Naval Research Laboratory demonstrated the Multi-sensor Towed Array Detection System (MTADS) vehicular and airborne magnetometer systems on the Pueblo of Isleta, near Albuquerque, NM. The demonstration consisted of two overlapping surveys. First, a vehicular magnetometery survey of 100 acres near the previously identified bull s eye, S1. Targets were expected to be M38 and BDU-33 practice bombs and an array of ordnance emplaced by the Army Engineering R&D Center at the direction of the ESTCP Program Office. Second, an airborne magnetometry survey of ^1500 acres around the target to include the vehicular area. Six hundred ninety targets were selected for remediation by UXO technicians. Each of the remediated items was characterized, photographed, and located by GPS re-survey. Using the results of this remediation, we develop probability of detection statistics for each of the two MTADS systems, derive information about location accuracy, and examine the classification performance of the two systems.
