Lasers Are Making It Easier to Find Buried Land Mines
The technology searches for buried objects by sending vibrations into the ground and measuring what comes back.
The Lambdis system then generates an image that visualizes these vibrations and their locations in different colors—creating a map of things buried in the soil. And an alternative de-mining solution, underground radar, which emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground, has the disadvantage of being easily affected by the condition of the soil. Next, the team plans to evaluate the performance of Lambdis in different soil conditions and when hunting for other types of buried objects.
