UV metal detection
UV metal detection
(OP)
I'm sure that mine detection in ex war environments, such as Serbia, can be solved with this kind of application: UV metal detection.
Do you have any suggestions considerring old expertise or already done tests?
Would be interesting to see if this can "see" only surface mines or is able to penetrate, more or less, the ground...
Any advices?

Not very knowledgeable on the make-up of mines, would a magnetron (from a reasonable distance) have any usefulness in triggering them? Are there many fuze (not trigger) variants out there?

While their effects on a human population is tragic, don't forget that their original intent was counter-armor, enabling a weaker protagonist to defend against a superior force. Most military inventions are of a similar heritage, and result. The rifles used during the US Civil War tended to kill through attrition, since the ball ammunition would cause either lead poisoning, or death by infection, if it wasn't an outright kill.

Been there, done that it's obvious for the very part of us.
The same was happening with gas+nitrate IED problem and, with a litle strugle, problem solved. Well, at least there is a real solution to that.
I think it's worthing all the effort for all those humans, as we said, living among APM's.
I didn't see so many attempts in UV/vis/SWIR/MW/LW/MMW/THz spectrums to solve the problem.
I realize that soil penetration it's very difficult but there must be a way...
