In spite of the very difficult conditions there, Geo-3 was able to detect not only mines and shells, but even explosive objects, which had no metal parts at all. Moreover, it managed to detect unexploded aircraft bombs under the ground and niches in brick walls intended to hide ammunition. The new mine detector was developed by specialists of the Radioavionika Joint-Stock Society in St. It works on the principles of superbroad band radars and is far better than foreign models.
Work is now under way to develop knapsack, automobile and helicopter modifications of the detector.
