Characterization of Underground Facilities

Abstract : JASON undertook a study at DARPA's request to look for new opportunities for progress in the detection and characterization of UGFs. Part of our charge was to identify the most promising technology areas for investment, emphasizing standoff and covert sensor techniques. The study therefore surveyed a wide range of approaches, and we received numerous briefings. These included summaries of the technology programs of various agencies and briefings from organizations and companies on specific technology approaches. In addition various new ideas were suggested by JASON contributors.
