WALTHAM, Mass. – A new landmine detection device developed by CyTerra Corporation has passed final testing by the U.S. Army and is ready for production. CyTerra’s system combines ground-penetrating radar with state-of-the-art metal detection technology. The new Handheld Standoff Mine Detection System unit enables operators to identify metallic and non-metallic, anti-personnel and anti-tank mines faster and with considerably greater reliability than with currently fielded, conventional metal detector-only systems.
Accelerated initial production – which could have units in the field within 3-4 months – is awaiting a final funding decision by the Army, and is expected shortly. Last February, the Army awarded CyTerra a three-year, $12.3 million contract to conduct final production engineering and testing of the units. At that time, target date for deployment was 2004.
