Trace Chemical Mine Detection Data Collection

Abstract

This final scientific and technical report outlines the progress made during Phases 1 and 2 of the trace chemical mine detection comparative testing using the MECHEM MEDDS and NOMADICS FIDO systems at Rakovo Polje Test Site in Croatia from July 2001 to August 2003 and summarizes the conclusions and recommendations from the test results obtained. A Final Meeting at the Doubletree Hotel at Falls Church/Tysons Corner in Virginia, USA was held from Monday, 4 August to Wednesday, 6 August 2003. Representatives from MECHEM, NOMADICS, CROMAC, CSIR (Defencetek) as well as NVESD attended the meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to use the information gathered during the project to draw up a final technical and scientific report as conclusion of the project. This report also reflects the views expressed at that meeting taking into account the results of the sampling as well as other related criteria.
