Peter Choy the objects of the
treasure hunt exercises: some
of the real AP-Mines MgM deminers
are confronted with on a daily
base. The last in the row is an
Anti-Tankmine.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The general objectives are:
- to improve the performance of a
metal detector for working in soil
environment that current metal sensors
have difficulties;
- to provide a man-portable APL detector
with demonstrable advances in operational
parameters by the integration of the
improved metal detector with a chemical
analyzing sensor based on nuclear
technique for bulk explosive detection;
and
- to investigate the performance of
the component system on a mobile vehicle
platform.
These general objectives will lead
to the development of MINESEYE - a system
which provides rapid search with
a Digital Induction Pulse Sensor (DIPS)
with data processing capability to locate
a buried metallic object among soils
that might be magnetic or conducting,
and then uses a Pulse Neutron Chemical
Analysis Sensor (PNCAS) to detect
and confirm the presence or absence
of explosive substances at the location
in question.
The goal is that every positive detected
by the combined system should be a real
positive.
