Live Site Demonstrations: Former Camp Beale Demonstration of MetalMapper Static Data Acquisition and Data Analysis

Abstract

This project involved two separate teams working on the project under two different ESTCP project numbers, ESTCP 021104 and ESTCP 201157. One team was responsible for site setup, the placement of 200 seed items for use in measuring the capabilities of the advanced EMI sensors tested, the subsequent collection of the 9 acres of EM6-MK2 data, and the intrusive investigation of the 2,143 targets (including seed items) selected for additional investigation with the advanced sensors. The second team was responsible for the cued survey of 1,491 of the 2,143 targets using the MetalMapper, one of the advanced electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors tested during this project. 1,232 targets were surveyed with the MetalMapper in the open field area; 259 targets were surveyed with MetalMapper and man-portable sensors in the combined area; and the remaining 652 targets were selected in wooded areas for the testing of man-portable sensors operated by other demonstrators. Comparison of the MetalMapper dig list with the ground truth set resulted in a 78 percent reduction in the number of clutter digs.
