Landmine Locator

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Land Mine Locator is a humanitarian aerial land mine detection platform designed to identify what today's metal detectors can not. It's equipped with an array of ultrawideband radar sensors and sophisticated subsurface tomography algorithms that provide exceptional quality subsurface images.

The Land Mine Locator combines two technologies, Landmarc and Hystar. The Landmarc features an array of ground-penetrating, ultrawideband radar sensors, and a signal-processing engine capable of detecting and mapping landmines buried at shallow depths. The Hystar is an aerial platform that is remotely operated, highly maneuverable, and stable. Capable of navigating meters off the ground, hovering over a spot, or cruising at 45 mph, the Hystar permits remote, reusable, safe operation for sensor platforms.
