Mobile system for the detection of roadside mines

Specialists of the Israeli concern Israel Aerospace Industries created a system that can recognize roadside explosive devices. This system is called Counter IED and Mine Suite. It is mobile, and therefore can be used as part of the head vehicle of a military or civilian column moving along a road that could be mined.

Israeli edition IsraelDefense reports that the mobile system is being successfully tested. Soon Counter IED and Mine Suite will be shown at AUSA. The system can be installed on any armored car or tank. It allows you to detect mines, land mines and other types of explosive devices laid on the road or on its side.

The main elements of such a system are special optical-electronic sensors, radar and metal detectors. Together, they allow you to determine whether the device is explosive in the direction of travel, or whether it is the usual “piece of iron” that lies under a layer of soil. The results of the analysis are displayed on a special screen for evaluation by the operator.

Such a system can manifest itself in a combat zone, as well as where terrorist groups are operating. The system effectively searches for explosive devices at a speed of about 10 km / h. Experts say that in the near future the speed of movement with the simultaneous effective detection of mines can be increased. The system can work both during the day and at night.

It will save a lot of lives if it really works!

[chunga-changa]

It’s immediately obvious that they don’t have any snow and dirt there. Such a system could work for us 2-3 months a year.

GPR plane-parallel to snow and dirt, they do not interfere with it

[chunga-changa]

"Optoelectronic sensor" is somewhat different from "GPR" and will not be able to work on snow and mud. That is, our complex is fully operational for three months, individual systems of the complex (radar-metal detector) - all year round. It turns out that for Russia the system is not optimized and redundant.

Two subsystems are mounted on the machine.

The first is engaged in the search for mines and IEDs located in the ground. Includes ground penetrating radar and magnetic detector. Dirt and snow do not bother them.

The second is searching for IEDs and anti-aircraft mines on the surface. It includes a SAR radar that provides radar images, a high-resolution optical system and an IR multispectral sensor. They, too, are not particularly disturbed by snow and dirt on the road.

Georadars are one of the areas where Russia has an undeniable advantage, a significant reserve of achievements, both civil and not only, and a large margin in the future.

The main thing is not to lose it

[Viktor Kudinov]

The Israeli experience of protecting people is very valuable. Must adopt!

[Giant thought]

But we have a system that not only detects mines, but remotely undermines them.

[Roman1970]

You have to test, what can I say ...

[IAlex]

Hence the conclusion, it is time to make passive missile mines ...

[Same lech]

And if the APU is made of plastic or it is liquid explosive in a plastic bottle, and if the APU is mounted on the nearest pillar or fence of someone’s garden, etc. .... there are many options for the APU.

[Lopatov]

VCA.
There are many options, but all provide for the availability of devices that undermine the VCA. And their remote search is not a problem. Both wire lines, and electronics, including not working.

[Same lech]

devices that undermine IEDs ....

I do not quite agree Lopatov ....
the simplest mines were in the Second World War on the armament of the Germans and we have ... a wooden case .... a chemical fuse (in glass) ..... try to find it without a sapper dog ... you can’t do without an elementary meter probe.

Take the situation when I sprinkle the road with high iron slag, how will the system behave in this case?
If you think carefully, you can prepare a surprise for such detection systems.

Will not notice it. The georadar is drummed. He is looking for heterogeneity. By the way, the more IED, the more likely it is to be detected by a GPR. This is to the question "MRAPs are not needed, because the enemy will lay a ton of explosives under the canvas"

A piece for georadar.

[Same lech]

A piece exactly for ground penetrating radar

Encouraged ... let's hope so.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

The right thing (if it really works) Well done Jews! Maybe give us the technology or sell it (until the Chinese have stolen it))))

[Lopatov]

It is possible that in this machine Russian technologies are used, at least in the field of non-linear location - ours passed something to them.

Otherwise ... "Foliage" is cooler. Because not only seeks, but also fries.

We have had this for a long time, the "Thor" laser system, burns out (initiates) an IED with a beam. ("Rafael" produces).



And the article is about detection, not destruction. Different things.

They learned to advertise Let them buy "Foliage" from us and not invent a bicycle.

[ZKB]

ordinary publicity stunt. the technologies are new, especially now there are so many ways and means of mining that it is not possible to find a universal tool. the best tool is a mine trawl and a competent sapper with a good dog. if you swell as much money as this toy will cost to prepare a good calculation of sappers, the effect will be much greater. and if you use blockage and mining, or massive remote mining, such a machine would be completely useless.

[Dragon-y]

Does he find anti-aircraft mines?

[Lopatov]

In theory, yes. It depends on how the sensors are located.

[vladsolo56]

I am surprised at the ignorance of our users. In Russia, there is a machine for detecting mines, but unlike this, it can detect WUs at a distance of 30 m, and not only under the road but also on the side of the road.

[Lopatov]

Firstly, in the comments that you looked at, she is mentioned three times.
Secondly, "Foliage" can detect devices in a sector of 30 degrees at a distance of up to 100 meters.
Thirdly, the Israeli system is also able to detect IEDs on the sidelines.

[gregor6549]

Well done Israelis. We managed to make a system with performance characteristics that so far surpass all existing analogues, And they managed to do it again because the life of every soldier in Israel is valued higher than iron and they try to save it as much as possible. And we are talking not only about sensors, radars, etc., but also about a specialized automated control system. And this ensures the exchange of information about the mine situation between units, mobile units and fighters in real time.

[Lopatov]

I do not think it is superior. It turns out that they did not use non-linear radar, so that hidden from the side of the IED with remote control may not notice.

[DanG73]

Small additions to the article. The system is assembled from 3 main parts: the "SAR" radar, which includes an electro-optical camera, the "MIDS" ground penetrating radar for detecting explosives and the system
"MD", which includes sensors for metal detection. Travel speed increases to 20 km / h if only overhead radars are used. The system should enter the market in 2016.
