High frequency electromagnetic induction sensing for non-metallic ordnances detection

Abstract

High frequency (>100 kHz) electromagnetic induction (HFEMI) sensing phenomena are investigated for nonmetallic ordnances detection and discrimination. HFEMI responses are studied using numerical and experimental data. The numerical modeling is done via the method of auxiliary sources, and data are collected using a new HEMI system, that has been developed at our lab. The comparisons between modeled and actual data are illustrated for a non-metallic 105 mm projectile.
