Abstract:
A mine detector adapted for travelling over objects on or under the ground and for identifying which of said objects are mines comprising:a vehicle for advancing over the objects;one or more sensors leading the vehicle and being supported therefrom, said leading sensors being operative to sense objects which they advanced over while the vehicle is in motion and establishing the coordinates of said sensed objects;means for tracking the coordinates of the sensed object as the vehicle advances over the sensed object;a sensor trailing the vehicle and being connected thereto, said trailing sensor being operative to confirm whether a sensed object is a mine when the trailing sensor dwells stationary over the sensed object; andmeans for positioning said trailing sensor stationary over the established coordinates of the sensed object and operating said trailing sensor for confirming whether the sensed object is a mine.
