Description: Continued development of a hand-held, portable Advanced Mine Detector (AMD) system for the U.S. Marine Corps. Once developed, the detector will enable Marines to accurately detect buried metallic and non-metallic anti-tank and antipersonnel mines and unexploded ordnance with far fewer false alarms than is possible with current detection systems. Quadrupole Resonance (QR) technology is ideally suited for discriminating buried landmines from clutter (i.e., metal objects, rocks, etc.) because QR sensors measure explosives at the molecular level. The sensors emit low-frequency, specially tuned radio waves and then measure the unique responses from specific explosives.
