Risk Assessment of Sea Dumped Conventional Munitions
(2016)Energetic compounds from dumped ammunition are toxic to aquatic organisms. Leakage of ammunition residues will occur when the bombshells are broken and the energetic compounds come into contact with water. The munitions ... -
A risk-increasing safety strategy? Evaluating the Traditional Risk-mitigating Strategy in Dealing with Dumped Ammunition and Explosive Remnants of War
(2022-10-16)In Norway, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of explosive remnants of war remain in nature. It has always been recognized that the ordnance could represent a certain explosive risk if disturbed, and that some of the constituents ... -
Robust eye-safe pulsed fiber laser source for 3D ladar applications
(2017)We present a pulsed all-fiber Er/Yb-doped master oscillator power amplifier at 1.55 μm wavelength. In a simple two-stage amplifier design, the source delivers 140 μJ pulses at 25 kHz and 50 kHz pulse repetition frequency, ... -
Robust Identification of Concealed Dangerous Substances by Spectral Correlation of Terahertz Transmission Images
(2015)Terahertz (THz) images containing spectral information in each pixel are recorded in transmission mode using a fiber-coupled time-domain spectroscopy system. The images are acquired by mounting a sample holder on an x-y ... -
Robust identification of concealed dangerous substances using THz imaging spectroscopy
(2015)False alarm rates must be kept sufficiently low if a method to detect and identify objects or substances is to be implemented in real life applications. This is also true when trying to detect and identify dangerous ... -
