This paper presents comes about because of innovation advancement endeavors throughout the most recent 6 years concentrated on submerged unexploded weapons (UXO) discovery and arrangement. Our approach abuses coordinated geo-referenced detecting advancements and have application for undertakings running from ports and harbor improvement to seaward vitality and wind cultivate improvement. Compel...

Statistical Analysis of Landmine Fatalities in Kurdistan This study analyzes mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) victim data in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq during the period of the 1960s to 2005. In addition to descriptive analysis of the data, we use regression analysis to identify the determinants of the probability of getting killed by a mine or UXO and to estimate the determinants impacts....

Over the past decade, notable progress has been made in the performance of airborne geophysical systems for mapping and detection of unexploded ordnance in terrestrial and shallow marine environments. For magnetometer systems, the most significant improvements include development of denser magnetometer arrays and vertical gradiometer configurations. In prototype analyses and recent Environmenta...

Past military activity close to the coast has discarded numerous ordnances in nearshore environment. These ordinances (some of them unexploded; also called UXOs or munitions) are transported by waves and currents may become exposed on beaches. The increased intensity storm events lead a subsequent increase UXO exposure migration. Prolonged ocean conditions leads surface growth that alters their...

Detection, classification, and localization (DCL) techniques are being developed around the use of a phase-measuring sidescan sonar (PMSS) in very shallow waters. The instrument simultaneously collects co-located imagery bathymetry extreme water environments (<1 m depth). In addition to bathymetry, an uncalibrated backscatter data set, referred this study as phase-measured, bathymetry-mode (...

Honeybees offer the potential of using free-flying organisms to search wide areas for the presence of explosives, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and landmines. The use of bees is analogous to dogs for mine clearance, except that a colony of tens of thousands of bees can be trained in about one hour to fly over and search a field for explosives, does not require a leash, and will not set off any min...
