Mine Detection Moves Into the Future: The AN/PSS-14 Mine Detector Requires a License

Abstract

The AN/PSS-14 Mine Detecting Set is more advanced than any metal detector used for mine detection. The AN/PSS-14 mine detector is only one part of this remarkable mine detection system. The other, and more essential, part of this system is the operator. The complexity of the system requires operators to be licensed to ensure safe and effective operation. For that reason, and for the safety of all personnel involved in route and area clearance operations, commanders must ensure that each operator is properly licensed before using the system in a real-world situation. Licensing operators of the AN/PSS-14 is essential to ensure that both the operator and the mine detector are adequately sustained so they will perform as intended.
