Major site surveys, utilizing a variety of sensor systems, will be carried out within the resources of the program.. An airborne magnetometer or other advanced remote sensing system will be made operational. Software development and hardware modification for the image processing center will ke completed. An operational integrated capability will be established to acquire, process, and distribute remotely sensed data from the gamma ray, Optical and near infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The overall capability will be sufficiently developed to allow an in depth integrated study of approximately ten major sites per year. In addition, limited coverage of up to ten smaller sites would be providec As part of the technical support portion of the program, studies will continue relative to the amount and type of remote sensing appropriate to carry out the DOE/AMS mission. Part of the activity will includ requirements for new classes of remote sensing equipment and appropriate ground correlation measure- ments and analysis. | These studies will determine the type and amount of data reduction capability, ground truth measurements, laboratory analytical and calibration backup necessary to process and disseminate remotely sensed data acquired by the operational airborne measurement systems in response to specific program needs and objectives. Software will be developed or modified, tested, and applied as necessary. In addition, evaluation and design assistance will be provided for any necessary expansion of hardware as sociatedwith tbs im proces ‘:_= or the sensor system arrays.
