Stand-off Mine Detection Radar System: Planned System Improvements



Jaycor (now Titan) developed plans for a Vehicular Mounted Mine Detector (VMMD) system with increased speed and location accuracy, while reducing system size and weight. By reducing the data acquisition cycle, this system will be able to proceed at a vehicle speed in excess of 5 km/hr while acquiring adequate data to precisely locate and identify the targets at stand-off ranges. This system is designed to be packaged as a rugged system, capable of operating on rough terrain, and weighing less than 300 pounds. If mounted on an all-terrain vehicle, the system would be capable of withstanding the extreme conditions typical of actual deployment situations.

The VMMD system has several major subparts. The stand-off ground penetrating radar (GPR), a forward looking infrared (FLIR), computers, displays, and software are the major subparts. We replaced the previous program's Jeep with a military like all-terrain vehicle (a Hummer), improved the antennas, and incorporated differential global positioning system (DGPS) for accurate electronic mine marking and integration with military mapping and communications systems. The stand-off GPR detection system has been integrated with a forward looking detection seeker, a passive infrared, to improve the system performance for both military and humanitarian missions.
