Proceedings of the Expert Workshop on Explosive Detection Techniques for Use in Mine Clearance and Security Related Requirements
Abstract
In spite of intensive efforts in the research and development of improved tools in the detection and identification of anti personal land mines, no advanced tool has yet been fielded. The use of metal detectors together with the use of dogs and mechanical devices are the present standard. A first prototype combining the detection of metal components (metal detector) and the search for anamolies (GPR) will pass in the very near future a systematic test phase. However, mine clearance could significantly benefit from the availability of a reliable device for the location explosive material. Moreover, it could become a key component in the context of countermeasures against terrorism and enhancing security of commercial aviation, container shipment, crucial infrastructure etc.
