Using robotic systems for scientific field data acquisition has expanded tremendously in the last five years and includes underground explosion monitoring and verification applications. Robotic platforms offer safer and more affordable ways to collect multiple data modalities, including visual and thermal infrared information, in challenging environments. An example of a new application space...
In environments where there is relatively little available open source information the analysis of satellite imagery data can be of particular value in monitoring for indications of nuclear weapon test preparation activities, such as signs at suspected nuclear weapon test locations of increased vehicle traffic, construction of support buildings, and tunnel excavations. This paper will use the...
