sir, i am an engineering student of 8th sem and i am doing a seminar on "mine detection using radar bullets" . i could not able to get more information about radar bullets. if you can help me by providing some useful details about radar bullets then it will be very precious for me. please sir if you can then reply me on dubeyrahul281[at]gmail.com .

radar bullet wiki

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. Anti -personal mines claims seventy new victims every day. This weapon is particularly cruel on children whose bodies being smaller and closer to the blast are more likely to sustain serious injury. The severe disabilities and psychological trauma that follow the blast mean these children will have to be looked after for many years.

Technologies are used for landmine detection are:

Metal detectors--- capable of finding even low-metal content mines in mineralized soils.
Nuclear magnetic resonance, fast neutron activation and thermal neutron activation.
Thermal imaging and electro-optical sensors--- detect evidence of buried objects.
Biological sensors such as dogs, pigs, bees and birds.
Chemical sensors such as thermal fluorescence--- detect airborne and waterborne presence of explosive vapors.

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.Anti -personal mines claims seventy new victims every day. This weapon is particularly cruel on children whose bodies being smaller and closer to the blast. Are more likely to sustain serious injury. The severe disabilities and psychological trauma that follow the blast mean these children will have to be looked after for many year.A child injured at the age of ten will need about 25 artificial limbs during their life time. The cost is @3000, a huge sum to pay in countries where people earn as little as $10 a month between 1979 and 19960, the red cross fitted over 70,000 amputees with artificial limbs. And the landmines problem is still growing. Therefore considering these factors the discovery of radar bullet is really a big boost to our world as we launches into the 21't century.
