Systems and methods for identifying marine unexploded ordinance (uxo)

A method for identifying marine unexploded ordinance (UXO), the method comprising:

• receiving, via at least one processor, vector residual field magnetic data including georeferenced magnetic field data in three directions, the vector residual magnetic data including an anomaly created by a candidate UXO;
• determining, via the at least one processor, a magnetic moment of the candidate UXO based on the vector residual field magnetic data;
• determining, via the at least one processor, anomaly description data using the magnetic moment including an estimate of at least two dimensions of the candidate UXO;
• determining, via the at least one processor, whether the anomaly description data fits with a reference description of a UXO to identify the candidate UXO as a probable UXO;
• and
• providing, via the at least one processor, an output to an output device, an indication of the probable UXO.
