本文介绍了MINEHOUND负担得起的人道主义地雷探测器的进一步工程开发和性能，该探测器由英国国际开发部赞助，由ERA技术公司开发。MINEHOUND采用与传统探地雷达（GPR）设计截然不同的专利方法，在人机界面方面，MINEHOUND提供了简单易用和经济实惠的特点，这两个特点都是人道主义排雷行动的关键因素。在2002-2004年期间进行了试验，并在2002年和2004年的SPIE上报告了试验结果。MINEHOUND具有探测完全非金属地雷的能力，并为手持式地雷探测提供了一种负担得起的解决方案。探地雷达是一种时域雷达，以1 MHz的重复频率发射持续时间为1 ns的脉冲。探地雷达发射器-接收器和相关的控制和信号处理安装在一个紧凑的目的设计的印刷电路板220毫米100毫米。采用最先进的专用“Blackfin”DSP处理器提供所有控制和信号处理功能。计划于2005年在柬埔寨和安哥拉以及巴尔干地区进行MINEHOUND的批量试验。
This paper describes the further engineering development and performance of the MINEHOUND affordable humanitarian mine detector, sponsored by the UK Department for International Development and developed by ERA Technology. Using a radically different patented approach from conventional ground penetrating radar (GPR) designs, in terms of the man machine interface, MINEHOUND offers simplicity of use and affordability, both key factors in humanitarian demining operations. Trials were carried out during the period 2002-2004 and have been reported at SPIE 2002 and SPIE 2004. MINEHOUND has the capability of detecting completely non-metallic mines and offers an affordable solution to hand held mine detection. The GPR is a time-domain radar transmitting 1ns duration impulses at a repetition frequency of 1MHz. The GPR transmitter- receiver and associated control and signal processing is mounted on a compact purpose designed printed circuit board 220mm by 100mm. A dedicated state of the art “Blackfin” DSP processor is used to provide all control and signal processing functions. Trials of batches of MINEHOUND are planned for 2005 in the Cambodia and Angola as well as the Balkans.
