A Fast 4-D TEM System for UXO Characterization

Abstract

The DoD is responsible for the restoration of land that it has used in the past for training and other military operations. More than 9,000 formerly used defense sites (FUDS) have been identified. Many of these sites will require environmental restoration that, more often then not, includes the location and removal of unexploded ordnance (UXO). As a result of four rounds of base realignment and closure (BRAC), approximately 400 installations have been closed and 206 of those installations have required or will require remediation including UXO removal before the properly is ready for transfer to public use. More than 525 billion has been spent to date on environmental restoration and spending continues at rate of approximately 52 billion annually [1 - 4]. Millions of acres are involved, by some estimates as many as 30-40 million acres.
