Objective
120 M land mines exist in 74 countries worldwide. Mines cause death and mutilation to 000'sof people. Huge areas of land are unusable because of mines stopping development, agriculture, and reconstruction. The effect is devastating to humans and national economies. A major problem 3-5 the lack of a rapid, efficient, and accurate system for locating the precise position of each individual mine or unexploded munitions. Current methods use a combination of metal detectors, density detectors, explosive detection dogs and persons prodding the ground, which are inefficient, often inaccurate, highly time consuming/labour intensive. Mine clearance is thus costly. A new hand held/vehicle mounted mine detection and locating system will be developed. This will be accurate, rapid, and simple to operate. It will uniquely combine technologies produced for other uses, into one rugged, hybrid detector. It will substantially reduce the time and manpower needed to locate mines and buried munitions, giving radical savings in the cost of mine clearances. All R&D will be carried out in this research, pilot production developed and the new innovative device tested in the market.
