Britain’s Chemring Group has introduced a new variant of its ground penetrating radar mine, detection system that can be mounted on a small unmanned ground vehicle for use on narrow roads and trails, particularly the goat paths found in Afghanistan that have to be navigated by United States soldiers on foot. The new ground penetrating radar is vehicle agnostic. At AUSA the system was mounted on a TALON robot, which is made by QinetiQ North America. Chemring says the system is ready to be fielded and expects to do an operational test with the Army in January. The VISOR Mini-HMDS is a portable variant of the company’s Husky-Mounted Detection System, which was first deployed last year by the Army in overseas conflicts. Husky features an ultra-wide band ground penetrating radar mounted on hydraulic arms extended from the front of a tractor. The VISOR system combines a ground penetrating radar with an advanced metal detector. The VISOR system includes automatic target recognition algorithms and automatic marking. The system also includes a rugged laptop computer with a graphical touch-screen that allows the user to see what the radar and metal detector see. The system provides an alarm and three-dimensional visualization on the remote console.
