About

Gregory Schultz is a researcher specializing in geophysical sensing, robotic detection systems, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) characterization, with particular expertise in applying advanced sensor technologies to complex defense and environmental challenges. His most recognized contribution is his work on the U.S. Army's Force Protection Demining System (FPDS), a remotely-operated, multisensor platform engineered for reliable detection and neutralization of both anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines — a system with direct life-saving implications for military personnel. Schultz has also made meaningful strides in robotic UXO detection platforms, developing automated calibration methods designed to improve detection robustness across varying surface conditions, mine types, and environmental regimes, helping reduce costly false alarms during site cleanup operations. More recently, his research has expanded into marine electromagnetics, exploring littoral seafloor applications including mine countermeasures, underwater pipeline tracking, and hazard characterization using remotely and autonomously operated platforms. His body of work, which spans over a decade, reflects a consistent commitment to translating advanced geophysical and robotic technologies into practical tools for both humanitarian demining and national security applications, accumulating citations across defense, environmental sensing, and autonomous systems communities.
