Map-Driven Platforms For Moving Sensors In Mine Fields, S.H. Salter, C.N.G. Gibson
Map-Driven Platforms For Moving Sensors In Mine Fields, S.H. Salter, C.N.G. Gibson
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
This paper discusses two unconventional and complementary systems for sensor movement. The first platform is the Dervish, originally designed to bypass the problem of mine detection by deliberately rolling over them with mine-resistant wheels. The second uses carbon-fibre cables to set the position of a payload supported by a balloon. Some desirable features of a sensor platform might be as follows.

Report On The Hidden Explosives Workshop, Rovereto June 1999, S.H. Salter
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
This article gives some personal recollections of the highlights of the Rovereto workshop written in a form intended to be useful to working deminers. The workshop was organised by Mirco Elena of Istituto Trentino di Cultura. Funding and subsidies were from the United States Department of Energy and the Italian CARITRO foundation.

International Pilot Project For Technology Cooperation, George Zahaczewsky
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
After a year of preparation and soliciting international support, the United States entered into agreement with Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the European Commission to conduct a project to test metal detectors suitable for humanitarian demining applications. This effort is seen as a pilot project for future international cooperation in demining technology development, and is a critical first step in formally establishing a functional, broadly based international program to test and evaluate humanitarian demining technology.
