Background
In 2000, Zonge continued internally-funded work to develop the NanoTEM system for UXO detection and characterization. We constructed a 2nd generation antenna cart and tested it both in moving and static modes. We submitted a proposal to the Department of Defense ESTCP titled “UXO Characterization With a Fast 4-D TEM System”. We were awarded a contract (ESTCP No. 200105) and work commenced in May, 2001. With ESTCP funding, Zonge was able to perfect its
high-speed acquisition software, develop data processing software, and construct a 3rd-generation antenna cart. The system was deployed at the NRL’s Blossom Point test facility in early December, 2001. In 2002, a ruggedized 4th generation NanoTEM cart was developed. The system continues to be deployed in innovative configurations for environmental and other applications.
