Evaluation of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Detection Technology at the Standardized UXO Test Sites Aberdeen and Yuma Proving Grounds
Abstract
The U.S. Army Environmental Command (USAEC) issued a Test Execution Directive to Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, to plan, perform, and report the evaluation of unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection technology. The standardized UXO test sites at APG and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) were used to (1) determine detection and discrimination effectiveness under realistic scenarios that varied targets, geology, clutter, topography, and vegetation; (2) determine cost, time, and manpower requirements to operate the technology; (3) determine the demonstrator's ability to analyze survey data in a timely manner and provide prioritized target lists with associated confidence levels; and (4) provide independent site management to enable the collection of high quality, Ground Truth (GT), geo-referenced data for postdemonstration analysis. Testing emphasized the demonstration and evaluation of government and private industry ordnance detection systems.
