 | Helicopter Multisensor Towed Array Detection System (MTADS) Magnetometry (HeliMag) technology was demonstrated as part of the ESTCP Wide Area Assessment Pilot Program. This report documents the acquisition, processing, analysis, and interpretation of Helicopter Multisensor Towed Array Detection System Magnetometry data for unexploded ordnance related sites at nearly 5,000 acres at former Camp Beale, California. The performance criteria for positioning accuracy, system noise, data density, MEC parameter estimates, and operating parameters ... |

|
| The Pueblo Precision Bombing Range is located in Otero County, Colorado. This site is classified by the United States Government as a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) and was a World War II-era military training facility. This demonstration utilized Helicopter Multi-Sensor Towed Array Detection System (MTADS) Magnetometry (HeliMag) technology, a wide area assessment technology. A data collection survey was conducted in September of 2005 and resulted in the survey of ... |

| Unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination is a high-priority problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). Recent DoD estimates of UXO contamination across approximately 1,400 DoD sites indicate that 10 million acres are suspected of containing UXO. Because many sites are large in size (greater than 10,000 acres), the investigation and remediation of these sites could cost billions of dollars. However, on many of these sites only a small percentage of the ... |

| The former Erie Army Depot, Ottawa County, Ohio, is located along the western shore of Lake Erie. This site and the associated impact areas are classified by the United States Government as Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and was formerly used for artillery testing, resulting in impact areas on land and in Lake Erie. This demonstration utilized Helicopter Multi-Towed Array Detection System (MTADS) Magnetometry (HeliMag) technology, a wide area assessment ... |

|
| Use of electromagnetic (EM) methods to discriminate frag and geology from unexploded ordnance (UXO) has shown steady improvement over time as demonstrated by test site results. Performance of off- the-shelf and customized EM sensors have increased both in terms of UXO probability of detection and false alarm rate. Parallel with the increase in capabilities of UXO detection and discrimination is the Increasing use of digital geophysical techniques on live sites. ... |

|
| The intent of this project was to address UXO detection in complex and hostile soil environments such as Kaho'olawe Island, Hawaii and the Waikoloa Manoeuver Area, Hawaii. Geophysics target signatures recorded from electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors, such as the Geonics EM61, contain extreme levels of background noise caused in large part by magnetically permeable soils. |
