MK1 Drestector: An Experimental Magnetometer for Detection of Structural Steel in Concrete

Abstract

The DREStector concept should enable in situ assessment of the quantity and location of steel present or determination of the absence of steel in a target. When used in conjunction with field engineering skills, the device should assist the military engineer to rapidly identify and/or prepare a structural concrete target for explosive demolition. Other potential applications might include use as a training aid for target recognition and construction engineering uses.
