In this project, sensors for land mine detection research were purchased. The sensors included a ground penetrating radar system operating at 1200 Mhz, as well as a long wave IR camera. A weather station and time domain reflectometry system for monitoring soil water content were also purchased. The sensors have been used in support of an ongoing research program in modeling soil physical properties and their effect on the performance IR and GPR sensors for landmine detection. Data from the IR camera and GPR system, in conjunction with soil water content measurements have been used to help validate theoretical models of the performance of the IR and GPR sensors for landmine detection. The IR camera and GPR system have also been mounted on a mobile robot. This robot is under development within the electrical engineering department at New Mexico Tech.
