New landmine detection reduces false alarms to save time and lives on battlefield
Todd South
A new method of detecting landmines could drastically reduce time-consuming false alarms and keep EOD soldiers from having to dig up every target that triggers their detectors.
Army Times spoke recently with Jim Harvey, program manager at the Army Research Office, part of the Combat Capabilities Development Command about the new technology.
“In a typical minefield, there may be 100 to 1,000 false alarms for every detected mine,†Harvey and his co-authors wrote in a research paper published in the “Proceedings†journal.
