Distribution and Fate of Military Explosives and Propellants in Soil: A Review

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Energetic materials comprise both explosives and propellants. When released to the biosphere, energetics are xenobiotic contaminants which pose toxic hazards to ecosystems, humans, and other biota. Soils worldwide are contaminated by energetic materials from manufacturing operations; military conflict; military training activities at firing and impact ...

Minefield Mapping Using Cooperative Multirobot Systems

open access: yesJournal of Robotics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
This paper presents a team‐theoretic approach to cooperative multirobot systems. The individual actions of the robots are controlled by the Belief‐Desire‐Intention model to endow the robots with the know-how needed to execute these actions deliberately.

A Biologically Based Chemo-Sensing UAV for Humanitarian Demining

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2007
Antipersonnel mines, weapons of cheap manufacture but lethal effect, have a high impact on the population even decades after the conflicts have finished. Here we investigate the use of a chemo-sensing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (cUAV) for demining tasks. We

Landmine Detection Using Electromagnetic Time Reversal‐Based Methods: 1. Classical TR, Iterative TR, DORT and TR‐MUSIC

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract In this paper, we present a review and classification of the published works on the use of Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR)‐based methods to locate landmines. Different approaches for landmine localization using EMTR are investigated. Specifically, the classical time‐domain EMTR, iterative EMTR, EMTR‐DORT (Décomposition de l’Opérateur du ...
