Landmine Detection using 3-dimensional Ground Penetrating Radar System in a Network Centric Environment

This paper addresses the need for improved sensors for mine clearance operations and humanitarian demining efforts. These operations require an information system that is capable of supporting activities such as planning, training, simulation, execution, documentation and assessment. To achieve this goal the system is best implemented using a service-based architecture, with sensors and other sources feeding into a common database that is capable of fusing the diverse information and users being able to request tailored and specific information in various formats and through a multitude of communication channels and operator interfaces.
