RADAR BULLET
[attachment=50388]
INTRODUCTION
Radar bullet is a relatively new discovery that was invented in mid 99 in the US. It is used for detecting land mines. And this discovery finds a very important prospect as about 139 countries singed a treaty in favor of banning anti-personal mines. This treaty was signed during the second week of March 1999 in Ottawa Canada.
ABOUT RADAR BULLET
Radar bullet is a special type of bullet the main use of radar bullet is to find landmines without setting foot into the ground.
This consists of firing a special bullet into ground from a helicopter which could pinpoint buried landmines .
Land mines are divided in to two types namely
1.Anti-tank mines :
AT mines range about 15-35cm in size. They are typically buried up to 40cm deep.
2.Anti-personnel mines:
AP mines range about 5-15cm in size. AP mines are designed to kill people
FIELD TEST
After the laboratory tests, testes were conducted at the Arizona
desert using the same experimental setup , the radar bullet was
able to detect 35 antitank mines and Val Mara 69
antipersonnel mines, which are a particular problem in northern
Iraq, where the mines have been laid by saddaam Hussein
force in their confrontation with the KURBS
ADVANTAGES
It has accurate measurements.
It locates even small targets.
It has been well founded by the defense.
It operates by detecting the dielectric soil’S which allows it to locate
even no metallic mines.
Extremely small bullets can be used for detection. A 30 mm bullet
gives out a 4 KW radar pulse - almost 10 times more power
than a standard ground penetrating radar- from 20 centimeters down.
CONCLUSION
The research on radar bullet were headed by the electrical engineers. Themes Engel of William Nunnally at the university of Missouri at Columbia, with $ 5million in funding from the US army. This can be used not only for detecting antipersonnel mines, but also for detecting anti- tank mines as well as for the mines used in sea for targeting the ship and submarines. ..
