Improved geo-referencing and prescreening for detection of buried explosive hazards in forward-looking infrared imagery
… is used in conjunction with a forward-looking buried explosive hazard detection system which consists of an infrared camera mounted on a moving platform equipped with an inertial navigation system. This system requires fast and accurate geo-referencing in order to convert alarms detected in the …

Vehicle Shaping for Mine Blast Damage Reduction
When a buried explosive is detonated beneath a target (such as a vehicle), the target is rapidly loaded by flying ejecta, high pressure gas, and shock waves. This paper explores how changes in the shape of the underside of a target affect the total impulse captured from the detonation of a buried …

The Mechanics Of Momentum Transfer From Explosive Charges Buried In Water, In Sand, And In Sand With Fines
… is very extensive, that of mine blast, involving explosives buried in soil, is less well developed. In this work, theoretical, experimental, and computational methods are synthesized to better understand some of the mechanisms that affect the way that an explosive charge, buried in a bed …
