ALISys Technology

ALIS (Advanced Landmine Imaging System), a combination of a metal detector and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar), is a small landmine detection sensor that is hand-held and scanned by the operator. While a metal detector is a sensor that detects buried metal underground, GPR uses radio wave reflection to image the shape of the plastic container of an anti-personnel landmine, allowing the operator to determine whether the metal detector response is due to a landmine or other piece of metal without excavation. Thus, the GPR can dramatically improve work efficiency compared to using a metal detector alone.
