Operational Evaluation of a New Acoustic Technique for UXO Filler Identification

Abstract

The objective of this work is to demonstrate and validate a new technology to identify the filler material in UXO. This technology, developed under a two-year SERDP program, has been tested at several DoD lab and range facilities. The ability to correctly identify important inert filler types has already been demonstrated on actual ordnance. During this demonstration, we conducted key field tests at the active test site to validate filler ID under field conditions for a nonintrusive investigation (e.g., surface UXO only). This report describes the objectives, technology description, demonstration design, and performance assessment parameters for demonstrations conducted at the former Vieques Naval Training Range (VNTR), Vieques, PR.
