List of testing facilities available
| EMRTC has over thirty test facilities that could be used for countermine research. One facility is especially designed for mine detection. No detonations have been allowed in the area; the area is free of explosive and/or metal residue. |
Completed, ongoing and planned test & evaluation projects
| EMRTC is continually working on T&E projects involving numerous forms of energetic materials. In the areas of de-mining the emphasis has been on providing a non-contaminated area for the study and implementation of mine detection. |
