For mobile, landscape view is recommended.
Many active and former military installations have ranges and training areas with UXO contamination that include water environments such as rivers, estuaries, and coastal ocean areas. Storm waves or currents can cause underwater munitions to become unburied and move into new, potentially dangerous locations. SERDP researchers have conducted experimental studies to characterize the sediments, simulate and track how these energetic events can cover, uncover, and move unexploded ordnance, and model this movement. This session highlights experimental and modeling efforts focused on an engineering model of munitions mobility.
