Titan's Advanced Technologies Group (formerly Jaycor) developed a proof-of-principle and prototype stand-off mine detection system funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) through U.S. Army Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. This system is the only known system that can detect and identify mine types at a substantial range (up to 30 meters/100 feet) with a low false detection rate. It can detect both surface and buried mines.

A concept vehicle has been built to allow for the demonstration and the improvement of our concept of a stand-off mine detection ground penetrating radar. The total concept system weighs about 200 pounds, and the current version of the system is constructed on a Hummer. The radar has been developed using only off-the-shelf commercially available components.

The system uses a stepped continuous wave (cw) signal, with three horn antennas. The stepped cw approach, going from 0.5 to 4 GHz, allows the system to excite the resonant frequencies of all mine targets. This stepped cw approach creates the ability to obtain detectable signals from all targets, as well as the ability to identify the targets based on resonant frequencies. Of the three horns, the middle horn transmits, while the outside two receive, which allows for azimuth detection, as well as range determination and identification. The result is a system capable of detecting, locating, and identifying targets at safe stand-off ranges of up to 100 feet. The total radiated power is currently 1 watt, although there are plans to increase the power to 10 watts.

The Jaycor system has been successfully demonstrated in several field tests. It was first tested in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by Jaycor (now Titan) and U.S. Army BRDEC (now CECOM) in July 1994. Later in July, the system was transported to Jefferson Proving Ground (JPG) in Madison, Indiana, to participate in the DoD, U.S. Army Environmental Center (AEC) contract with the UXO Detection, Identification, and Remediation Advanced Technology Demonstration conducted by PRC Environmental Management, Inc. In February 1996, the system was "blind" tested against over 50 live, but defuzed, metallic and plastic mines (6 different types) buried in various soil conditions at the Research Center for Energetic Materials (RCEM) in Socorro, New Mexico. All of these mines were detected by the Jaycor (now Titan) system. Tests are being conducted under a U.S. Army CECOM contract for other mine types and soil conditions. The current contract is the Vehicular Mounted Mine Detector (VMMD) program. The current contract runs from August 1996 through December 1998.

On 2 June 1998, Jaycor (now Titan) was notified by the U.S. Army of a follow-on contract award. The new contract is for the research and demonstration of a forward looking sensors package technology for the Vehicular Mounted Mine Detector (VMMD). The new contract extends the program through June 2001.
