Ground Penetrating Radar for Joint Service EOD Sensing Applications
Abstract
ONR and its Joint Service EOD team are acquiring and developing sensors to enable personnel to rapidly clear large areas damaged by,munitions, such as aircraft runways. These sensors include handheld, forward-looking ground penetrating radar (GPR) units designed,to detect land mines or shallow unexploded ordnance. ONR is currently adapting one of these handheld GPR units to operate as a down,ward-looking GPR for sensing at greater depths. The adapted radar will be mounted on an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) along with,other sensors. The change from a forward-looking to a downward-looking orientation for the GPR requires a new antenna array, which,is being developed by the University of North Dakota. The development and integration of this new experimental GPR sensor will need, to be tested and analyzed for its performance. New image processing methods also need to be investigated for the new sensor. GTRI, will support the research needs of the program byA.Analyzing the system to predict its performance, B.Developing image processing a,pproaches, C.Assisting with hardware integration, and D.Supporting GPR system testing.
