mine detection
Finding buried ordnance
Mine detection is the process of locating explosive mines—whether buried in the ground or floating in water.
Military and humanitarian operations use various methods: metal detectors, ground-penetrating radar, trained dogs, and increasingly, specialized robots.
Mine detection teams cleared the former battlefield before farmers could return.
