DSTO Landmine Detection Test Targets
Abstract
DSTO has designed and manufactured a series of landmine test targets to facilitate its active landmine countermeasures program. The targets were developed to simulate specific landmines or to emulate classes of landmines by providing signatures equivalent to those of real landmines. The signatures of the simulant and surrogate landmines were verified against real landmines in a series of experiments involving multiple landmine detection sensors. The test targets are suitable for use with metal detector, ground probing radar, thermal imaging, and seismic/ sonic mine detection sensors. Targets are also painted for use on the ground surface with electro-optical imaging sensors. This document details the landmine detection test targets developed by, and available at DSTO Edinburgh, Weapons System Division. Also described are the equivalent targets developed by the United States and Canada. DSTO's test targets, test sites and testing procedures meet the requirements of international test standards.
