ERA has developed leading edge hand-held and vehicle mounted mine detection systems, for both civilian and military applications.

ERA's proven ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology forms the basis for these systems, but improved performance and functionality can be achieved by integrating it with other types of sensor.

Mine infestation limits economic growth in many countries where conflicts have occurred, causing poverty as well as injury and death. Hand-held mine detectors are particularly useful, as they can be employed in areas where access is difficult, and can detect small anti-personnel mines as well as larger anti-vehicle mines. ERA's MINETECT hand-held system combines metal detection and ground penetrating radar technologies into a single low cost hand-held detector, providing a powerful tool for speeding up mine clearance operations.

Vehicle mounted mine detection systems, such as MINDER, are designed for rapidly detecting of mines specifically targeted at vehicles. Data fusion is used to combine the outputs from ultra-wide band and ground-penetrating radar, thermal imaging and metal detection. This achieves high detection and low false alarm rates for a wide range of metallic and non-metallic mines. These systems can be used to mark out safe routes for both military and humanitarian aid traffic.
