Next Generation Data Collection System for One-Pass Detection and Discrimination

Abstract

The objective of this demonstration was to deploy the OPTEMA system to the Yuma Proving Grounds to quantify its expected detection and discrimination performance. As far as we are aware, OPTEMA represents the only advanced EMI sensor technology with the objective of achieving both the detection and discrimination tasks in a single pass of the sensor system1. In principal there will be sites where this approach is more cost effective than the two-pass approach that has been adopted by the existing advanced sensor technologies (MetalMapper, TEMTADS, BUD).
