The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has several technology development programs that are evaluating the use of ultra-wideband synthetic aperture radar (UWB SAR) to detect and locate targets that are subsurface or concealed by foliage. In 1997, ARL began a project focused on enhancing the detection and discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). The program's technical approach is to collect high-quality, precision data to support phenomenological investigations of electromagnetic wave propagation through varying dielectric media, which in turn supports the development of algorithms for automatic target detection. For this project, a UXO test site was set up at the Steel Crater Test Area-an existing test site located at Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. In the selection of UXO to be included at YPG, an emphasis was placed on the types of munitions that may be present at CONUS test and training ranges.
