-In FY 2002, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) initiated a project to provide a deliberate capability for hunting buried sea mines. The objectives and approaches for this buried minehunting (BMH) project and the sensor technologies being pursued have been reported [1]. In this paper, we will describe progress and current status of this project, including developments in sensors, platforms, system concepts, and testing. Discussion of relevant tests that have been conducted for individual sensors and sensor combinations will be included. Future plans to test and demonstrate these technologies and concepts are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
