Description: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is investigating various remote sensing and locating systems to determine if any of the current, state-of-the-art, airborne systems are suitable, or readily available, for public land surveying in forested areas or where persistent cloud cover occurs. This study investigated the use of radar ranging techniques for locating and establishing corner markers for public land surveys under these conditions"--Page v.
