Description
| The Countermine Test Facility was developed to test and evaluate technologies for detection of antitank and antipersonnel mines in an arid environment. It consists of 100- and 200-meter oval flat tracks and support facilities. Inert or live mines can be located on these tracks. Remote-operated robotic detection devices can be used for operations involving live mines. Natural terrain live mine fields have also been developed as test beds to evaluate detection devices. |
