GPS-based landmine detection system for multiple operating units

This paper presents the design of a landmine detection system capable of detecting landmines, IEDs and UXOs. The System has the capability to identify multiple scanner operating units and relays the landmines detected by them onto the base station via Zigbee modules. An algorithm has been designed and tested to detect mines and plot their respective positions on the map. The route followed by the operating units is also indicated. The developed system offers flexibility and support for integration with UGV and robotic manipulator for future innovations.
