Efficient UXO Classification (MR‐201713)

Dr. Dean Keiswetter (AcornSI)

ObjectivesDetection, classification, and remediation of military munitions• UXO Classification is the default geophysical solution for Military Munition Response projects

Mitigating limitations of PC‐based data analysis solutions by mitigating local IT complications, creating efficient data handoffs and making communications transparent

Space for investigator organization logos

UXO Classification Software1)Cloud‐based UXO Classification software• Develop and demonstrate effective, efficient, and secure Cloud Computing technology for UXO Classification• Allows the prime contractor to perform UXO classification, communicate with government buyer and regulator, and deliver product utilizing cloud technology

2)Virtual site simulator• Software for creating synthetic datasets

Technical Approach

Schedule: 2018 start.  Software Solutions complete. Two software suites: UX‐Analyze Cloud & Virtual Site Simulator, Completion date 2021

• Quality Focus• Quantitative Decision• Permanent Record• Characterize More• Dig Less• Understand Residual Risk

Page 3: Efficient UXO Classification

Cloud‐based Classification Analysis and Project Management• Technical objective is to determine if a buried metallic source is hazardous or not based on Electromagnetic Data• Utilizes data inversion to extract and classify features intrinsic to buried metallic objects

• Cued measurements• Dynamic measurements

• Project management structure• Stringent security during data transmission and while at rest• Systematic and persistent data quality requirements• Batch processing on demand• Comprehensive analyst data reviews

Virtual Site Simulator• Generates electromagnetic data for the training and testing of data analysts and software solutions for the Military Munitions Response Program• Realistic environmental and sensor noise• Realistic UXO and non‐UXO signatures• User‐defined density and nature of sources

• Munitions type• Burial depth and orientation• Number and type of QC seeds

• Cued and dynamic measurements• Standardized data output format• Multiple data failure modes…

UX‐Analyze Cloud software provides a fundamentally different and improved Project Team experience• Cloud‐based environment provides many attractive features:

• Institutionalized quality control and firewalls

• Instantaneous team communication• No software to install

Virtual Site Simulator creates realistic electromagnetic data that challenges data analysts…

Lessons Learned and Next Steps
