-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.

“…Traditional SASs work in a side scan mode and are only able to obtain two‐dimensional (2D) images [2–4]. In some applications [9–11] where 3D images are needed, traditional side scan SASs are not applicable. To overcome this problem, downward‐looking 3D SASs [12–15] have been proposed to capture underwater 3D images.…”

“…The problem of buried UXO detection has been addressed in prior research with sonar imaging systems [5][6][7][8]. One advantage of the sonar sensing modality (over electromagnetic modalities) is that acoustic imaging offers the promise of higher potential area coverage rates and better localization.…”

The problem of detecting buried unexploded ordnance (UXO) is addressed with a sensor deployed from a shallow-draft surface vessel. This sonar system produces three-dimensional synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery of both surficial and buried UXO across a range of environments. The sensors hardware design was based in part upon data created using a hybrid modeling approach that combined results from separate environmental scattering and target scattering models. This hybrid model produced synthetic sensor data where the sensor/environment/target space could be modified to explore the expected operating conditions. The simulated data were also used to adapt a set of existing signal processing algorithms for formation of three-dimensional acoustic imagery.Recently, the sonar system has been integrated to a test platform, and experiments have been conducted at a trial site in the Foster Joseph Sayers Reservoir near Howard, PA. This test site has been prepared with several buried man-made objects. Initial results show that fully buried targets can be detected.
