Abstract

Although commercially available geophysical sensors are capable of detecting UXO at nominal burial depths, they cannot reliably discriminate between UXO and clutter. As a result, an estimated 75% of remediation funds are spent on nonproductive excavations. During the past few years, we have been studying the merits of using multifrequency EMI data for discriminating between UXO and non-UXO targets and believe the method has tremendous potential. The EMI spectral response of an object is a function of its electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, shape, size, and orientation relative the primary exciting field. By measuring a target's spectral response, we obtain its characteristic frequency-dependent signature.
