Mapping and evaluation

Assessing historical data and maps, accompanied by state-of-the-art methods to map the sea floor and detect munitions objects are keys capabilities of success. Processing and analysing of data are constantly further developed, be it with respect to processing speed but also when it comes to a more objective detection of potential munition objects using AI and cloud computing.

The classic methods of acoustic, optical and magnetic mapping are constantly further developed to achieve higher resolution and accuracy. Currently computer driven technologies as artificial intelligence, better data management and data-integrating interpretation procedures, are complemented.

KMCW ’21: Detection & Identification Technologies

Archival research

The evaluation of archival documents is of central importance to comprehensively assume the likelihood of pollution of marine areas and gain insights into the type of exposure that may occur.  

State of the art

To locate Munitions in the Sea proven survey procedures, detection and charting methods are the second step of this large scope.

 

Research / Current topics

Given the risks and the limitations of existing measurement methods, research is continuously trying new approaches for a faster and more detailed evaluation of the existence of munition in the sea.
