Make sure it is the current issue as they are still using a lot ofthe
older stuff.
I think the current issue for U.S. and NATO is made by Scheikler (or
something like that-I would have to look it up) is Austria, and is a
pulse type unit, or at least partly or semi-pulse.
There are lots of new prototypes due to the various governments spending
big bucks for mine clearance--Most of Europe, US, and Australia have
on-going programs. One conclusion is that there is only so much you
can do with straight metal detectors since most mines are mostly
non-metallic.
There is an active German newsgroup on demining. Although most is
sociological and humanitarian, some word gets through on
detection. Let me know if you want the address.
