Several mine detection systems are currently under development which will provide airborne mine detection capabilities. The use of a passive millimeter wave (PMMW) imaging sensor promises to provide day/night and all weather mine detection performance. Attenuation in the MMW regime is not dramatically effected by adverse weather. In addition there is a large contrast between metal targets and the background for air to ground scenarios. Furthermore, due to the long wavelengths, vegetation and soils are not completely opaque in the MMW regime, offering the possibility to detect buried targets under specific conditions. This paper describes the assessment of an imaging PMMW sensor for mine detection. The results of data collection and modeling analysis are presented as evidence to the utility and capabilities of the technology to perform under adverse weather conditions.
