Airborne geophysics for shallow object detection: Technology update 2003 - electromagnetics

ORNL has been developing helicopter-mounted geophysical systems for detection of shallow buried objects since 1997. In collaboration with the U.S. Army Engineering Support Center - Huntsville and private sector partners we have focused our efforts on UXO detection and characterization, but the system is equally well adapted to any large area shallow mapping project such as utility locating, brownfield studies, hazardous waste sites and archeological sites.
