Seismic/Acoustic Vibration Imaging (SAVI)
Abstract
The Seismic/Acoustic Vibration Imaging (SAVI) program developed the capability to locate both buried landmines and near-surface tunnels using active acoustic and seismic sources coupled with a multi-pixel laser vibrometer. These systems employed well characterized acoustic and seismic sources to stimulate the targets of interest from a remote platform. Focused acoustic sources to remotely stimulate plastic or metal antipersonnel and antitank mines and a laser vibrometer system then detects the stimulated resonant characteristic of the mines to discriminate against natural sources of clutter. The capabilities are transitioning to the Army and Marine ground forces for development and employment of operational systems.
