TEMTADS Adjunct Sensor Systems Hand-held EMI Sensor for Cued UXO Discrimination (ESTCP MR-200807) and Man-Portable EMI Array for UXO Detection and Discrimination (ESTCP MR-200909) Cost and Performance Report

Abstract

Man-portable (MP) and Hand-held (HH) adjuncts of the NRL TEMTADS 5x5 array were constructed and the UXO classification performance of each characterized. Both systems are based on the transient electromagnetic induction (TEM) sensor technology that was developed for the NRL TEMTADS 5x5 array. Both systems are designed to be deployable in increasingly inaccessible areas where vehicle-towed sensor arrays cannot be used. The HH sensor was also designed for integration with unique positioning technologies. Demonstration results are presented in terms of cost and performance metrics for both systems. The demonstration results indicated that the performance of both systems were comparable to that of the full TEMTADS 5x5 array.
