Abstract

In this paper, we propose an environment-adaptive antipersonnel mine detection system called Advanced Mine Sweeper. Advanced Mine Sweeper is developed based on sensing technologies, access-control technologies and system integration technologies for safe and effective demining procedure after the Level II survey. Advanced Mine Sweeper consists of a sensing vehicle/unit, an access vehicle, and an assist vehicle. The sensing vehicle/unit is composed of an integrated sensor and a small-reaction sensor head manipulator. The access vehicle is parked facing a mine field in order to control the sensing unit position in a global area using its boom. The assist vehicle is parked keeping some distance from a mine field. It controls the sensing vehicle/unit and access vehicle and then displays the processed sensing information for landmine detection, receiving sensing information and sensing position. By using this system, experiments in the field buried dummy landmines were carried out for the utility and performance evaluation.
