This unique combination enables the system to reliably and consistently detect anti-personnel (AP) and anti-tank (AT) mines and to reject the detection of metallic clutter, increasing operator ...

Land mine removal usually relies on humans finding them with handheld metal detectors, which is dangerous, time-consuming, and nearly ineffective if hunting for mines made from plastic.

In a first-of-its-kind development, a group of researchers has revealed an advanced laser technology that could radically improve land mine detection, presenting a safer and more efficient way to ...
