EOD

Decision-making during offshore explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) is a highly complex task that requires extensive knowledge on a multitude of types of munitions, numerous available clearance technologies and the surrounding marine environment... The ProBaNNt (Pro fessional intelligent munitions assessment using 3D reconstructions and Ba yesian Neural Ne tworks) project aims at improving decision-making capabilities on various levels and generating a comprehensive tool to support offshore EOD campaigns. The project integrates sustainable convergence, use and analysis of existing EOD data with new data acquisition techniques, such as 3D photogrammetry and ad-hoc assessment of sediment properties. All of this information will be integrated into an EOD decision-making software that uses Bayesian Neural Networks to propose the most viable clearance option for a given munitions item at a given location.
