An electromagnetic finite volume forward solver is implemented to create a suite of forward models that provide the expected response for an air-filled buried structure constructed of concrete and rebar. Model parameters considered are the conductivities and thicknesses of a two-layer subsurface and the nature of VLF plane wave source. By building this suite of models, the results can be packaged into a data set that is both easily callable and requires minimal storage. More importantly, the user is relieved of the time required to manually execute a large number of models. Instead the results are already provided along with an interpolation tool for immediately data access. This document is written in compliance the LDRD reporting requirements for a close-out report on Project 180848.
