Man-Portable Adjuncts for the Multi-Sensor Towed Array Detection System (Mtads)

By Environmental Protection Agency

Description
Excerpt: The development and demonstration of the man-portable adjuncts of the Multi-Sensor Towed Array Detection System (MTADS) were supported by the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) Program Office as was this program, whose aim was to extend the reach of the MTADS system into areas inaccessible to the vehicular system. The Naval Research Laboratory managed all MTADS man-portable adjunct activities. The principal investigator during the development of the MMS was Dr. J. R. McDonald and during the development of the EMMS, Dr. H. H. Nelson. We wish to express our grateful appreciation to Dr. Jeff Marqusee, the ESTCP director, and to Dr. Anne Andrews, the UXO program director, for their unflagging commitment to developing and refining automated UXO detection and remediation technologies. This commitment has led to the demonstration and validation of fully field-hardened man-portable prototypes and their transition to the commercial sector.
