Landmines and other buried explosive devices pose in an immense threat in many places of
the world, requiring large efforts on detection and neutralization of these objects. Many of the …

Of all the buried landmine identification technologies currently available, sensing the
chemical signature from the explosive components found in landmines is the only technique …

Over 1000 soil samples were collected at the surface and at depth near buried TMA-5, TMM-
1, PMA-1A, PMA-2, and Type 72 land mines at a research minefield at Fort Leonard Wood …

Chemical sensing for buried landmines is a complex phenomenon that includes mine
chemical emissions, soil chemical transport/degradation, and detection at the ground …

Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) has initiated a program for land mine
sensor development based upon explosives-related chemical (ERC) detection. As part of …

Trace Explosive Detectors (TED) technologies have been investigated as a means of
confirming the presence of a landmine at a given location. A field trial was performed with a …

Sensing the chemical signature emitted from the main charge explosives from buried
landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) is being considered for field applications with …
