  • Abstract
    Sky Research (SKY), through innovative use of advanced geophysical, marine, electronics, engineering, and remote sensing technologies has developed an underwater unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection system. Implementation of active depth control, terrain following, low noise magnetometers, and precise positioning measurements enables the system to rapidly execute precision surveys of large areas at depth of 10 meters (m) for detection, location and characterization of UXO.
