Groundbreaking laser tech enables faster, safer landmine detection
Researchers at the University of Mississippi have come up with a faster, more efficient method for detecting landmines – millions of which pose a lethal threat to people in war-ravaged countries all over the world. This breakthrough, which uses lasers and acoustic vibration, has the potential to…
Researchers at the University of Mississippi have come up with a faster, more efficient method for detecting landmines – millions of which pose a lethal threat to people in war-ravaged countries all over the world. He received a patent for it back in 2019 while at the university's National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA), when he demonstrated how it can be mounted to a moving vehicle and quickly detect buried landmines up to 65 ft (~20 m) away. The team's updated laser tech, presented at the Optica conference in Japan last month, forms a vibration map of the ground in near real-time to detect landmines.
