Mine Detection Using Radar Bullets


INTRODUCTION
Now a day in places like Afghanistan and Iraq we know that land mines are causin
g serious threat to the lives of civilians. The mines that are implanted during
the wartime may remain undetected for several decades and may suddenly be activa
ted after that. Also during wartime mines implanted by our enemy countries are t
o be detected and diffused properly in order to save the lives of our soldiers.
So we should say that detecting landmines is important for every country today.

MINE AFFECTED COUNTRIES


The countries known to have severe landmine problems are Afghanistan, Bosnia, Ca
mbodia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Iraq, Kuwait, Laos, Egypt, Eritrea, Chevalier, China.
Unfortunately India, Pakistan, Srilanka, Myanmar are in the list of less mine a
ffected countries besides other 100 countries.
WHAT IS A LAND MINE?
The purpose of a landmine is to disable, immobilize or kill. It is an explosive
device activated either by a person or vehicle or by command detonated by electr
ic wire or radio signals. Most land mines are laid on just below the surface of
ground and are activated by pressure or trip-wire. Usually most of the land mine
s will contain many metallic parts, which can be made use of in their detection.
Anti-personal mines claims 70 new victims every day. This weapon is particularly
cruel on children whose bodies being smaller and closer to the blast are more l
ikely to sustain serious injury. The severe disabilities and psychological traum
as that follow the blast- means these children will have to be looked after for
many years.
A child injured at the age of 10 will need about 25 critical limbs during there
life time. This cost in 3000 Dollars a huge sum to pay in countries where people
earn as little as 10 dollar a month. . Between 1979 of 1996 the red crores fitt
ed over 70,000 amputees with critical limbs and the land mine problem in still g
rowing. There for considering these factors the discovery of radar bullet is rea
lly a big boost to our world as we launches to 21st century.
WHAT IS A RADAR BULLET?
The radar bullet is a special type of bullet. The main use of radar bullet is to
find landmines without setting foot on the ground. This consists of firing a sp
ecial bullet in to the ground from a helicopter, which could pin point buried la
nd mines.
The bullet units a radar pulse as it grounds to a halt. This pulse strikes the m
ine and its image gets available on the computer in the helicopter, offering a s
afe and efficient way of finding land mines
