Project Nr.:2.1.2.5
Title:Evaluation of Metal Detector Arrays for Humanitarian Demining.
Description:Vehicle mounted metal detector arrays provide a capability to rapidly detect landmines on roads, tracks and open terrain. Using the CEN CWA 14747 and the procedures developed by The International Pilot Project for Technology Co-operation (IPPTC) report on hand-held metal detectors, several vehicle mounted MD arrays will be tested and evaluated.
Aim:To provide a test and evaluation report on vehicle mounted metal detector arrays that are specifically designed for the detection of landmines.
Request:Users, donors
Category:Detection - Metal detector
Type:Test and Evaluation
Equipment:Schiebel VAMIDS, Vallon VMV8, Ebinger MD array, Minelab STMR
Development:COTS
Time Frame: 2006-02-28 to 2007-12-31
Place:Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC )
Lead Nation:Canada
Partners:The Netherlands, Germany, United States
Point of contact:Kevin Russell
E-mail:Kevin.Russell@drdc-rddc.gc.ca
Status:Trials/tests completed
Comments:
  • During 2006, both the Vallon VMV8 and the Schiebel VAMIDS systems were evaluated at the Canadian Centre for Mine Action Technology (DRDC - CCMAT). Both Germany and The Netherlands provided direct assistance during the evaluation.
  • In the last two weeks of October 2007, the Minelab 3m STMR system and the Ebinger MD array were evaluated at DRDC - Suffield with the assistance of the Netherlands. The Ebinger MD array was made available to DRDC by the U.S. Humanitarian Demining Research and Developement Program
  • The publication of the final report has suffered delays due to other urgent DRDC tasks but it is hoped that the test report will be published in the first half of 2010. The report will provide details on the cross-section variability, depth sensitivity (i.e. target detectability), speed dependency, repeatability and noise immunity of metal detector arrays.
