This paper reports on the development of MUDSS, a multi-sensor system for the surveying of underwater ordinance and explosive waste (OEW) in shallow water (10' to 200'). The MUDSS concept and mode of operation are described and operational performance of the MUDSS state-of-the-art (SOA) sensors is presented from preliminary tests against a range of OEW targets. MUDSS employs achcanced real-time processing and data fusion techniques to improve target detection in the presence of clutter, a significant problem in many shallow water sites of interest. MUDSS is expected to provide a substantial and unmatched capability to accurately swey underwater sites as the first step to remediation.
Public Reporting burden for Chis collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comment regarding this burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
