Department of Defense (DoD) Marine Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Site Database

The majority of the DoD’s UXO detection and discrimination technology development efforts in the past have focused on terrestrial (land-based) areas that were used for testing and training. DoD munitions testing and training operations, as well as past disposal operations, also have been conducted in marine, estuarine, and other underwater environments. Potential human contact with underwater ordnance at or near these sites can include direct contact when swimming, diving, wading, or through indirect contact like anchoring, fishing, or dredging. Site-specific factors such as water depth, turbidity, temperature, tidal actions, currents, storms, and bottom conditions present unique challenges that can significantly hinder the use of conventional UXO technologies at underwater sites. The database includes information on site locations and ranges, environmental conditions, munitions reported or suspected, and other site attribute information. The majority of the sites are formerly used ranges (Formerly Used Defense Sites [FUDS]), but the database also includes Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Sites, and active ranges. We focused on compiling data for sites within the United States or under the control of the DoD in some capacity. During our review of sites, we also compiled listings of international sites of concern. These include a loosely compiled set of sites from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, Russia, Estonia, and Serbia and Montenegro.
