Unexploded ordnance detection and mitigation: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Unexploded Ordnance Detection and Mitigation, Il Ciocco, 20 July - 2 August 2008

The detection and neutralization of unexploded ordnance (UXO) has been of major concern for very many decades; at least since the First World War. UXO continues to be the subject of intensive research in many fields of science. Whiletoday's headlines emphasize the mayhem resulting from the placement of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), humanitarian landmine clearing continues to draw significant global attention as well. In many countries of the world, landmines threaten the population and hinder reconstruction and fast, efficient utilization of large areas of the mined land in the aftermath of military conflicts.
