Book excerpt: This report contains results of a field trial performed by a landmine detection prototype based on the detection of residual explosives in soils. The trial was carried out at a mine field that included 25 buried mines, 25 empty sites, and one with a TNT block buried in the soil. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the system, the detection of explosives (TNT & RDX) was performed on these 51 sites. A preliminary evaluation of the explosives contained in the soil was also performed. Results showed whether the concentration of explosives was below the detection limit of the prototype. In addition, the report summarizes problems in the detection of land mines with trace explosive detectors in general or by using an electronic nose or dogs.
