Sensor Test Lanes: There are 4 pits for detection purposes, which were constructed several years ago. They contain four different soil types. These are London clay, normal soil, sand and aggregate. The targets are a mixture of inert landmines and clutter objects. The inert landmines are filled with a substance, which has a similar dielectric constant to explosive. A picture of some of the pits can be seen below.
Test Track: Consists of a 3.22km (2 mile) high speed asphalt course with banked curves, Tilt platform (capable of tilting a loaded tank transporter trailer), a wading pool, test slopes (1-in-4 to 1-in 7.3), S-bends, Slip Pad and several other vehicle testing facilities. The site is designed to accommodate tracked vehicles up to 80 tonnes and heavy transporters up to 120 tonnes
