During the 1980's the Superconducting Gradiometer/Magnetometer Sensor was demonstrated in the Magnetic and Acoustic Detection of Mines Advanced Technology Demonstration to provide effective mine detection, localization, and classification capabilities, especially against buried mines, and to reduce significantly acoustic false alarms arising from bottom clutter. This sensor utilized Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices manufactured using the low critical temperature (low Tc) superconductor niobium and liquid helium for sensor cooling. This sensor has most recently bee integrated into the Mobile Underwater Debris Survey System and has been demonstrated successfully in a survey to locate unexploded ordnance in coastal waters.
