DEVELOPMENT OF UGV MOUNTED MULTI-CHANNEL DUAL SENSOR SYSTEM INCLUDING EMI AND GPR FOR MINE/IED DETECTION

Abstract

In this paper, an unmanned remote-controlled ground vehicle-mounted system for IED/mine detection named as IMTA is presented. It consists of a multichannel ground penetrating radar and a metal detector; the two sensors are integrated in a single panel. Sensors of the proposed detection panel have the feature of working in the same integrated search panel without affecting each other. The integrated sensor panel system consists of sensors and embedded processors. It can easily be mounted on any unmanned ground vehicle. It is obtained that the integrated sensor panel of IMTA can easily detect both metallic and non-metallic targets at usual burial depths during operational movement.
