mine neutralisation - rapid route and area mine neutralisation system (RRAMNS)

Countering the landmine threat ...

The landmine is an increasingly available and widely used means of restricting land forces' freedom of movement. Consequently, the land forces require a method of quickly detecting and clearing landmines form supply routes and critical areas.

The Rapid Route and Area Mine Neutralisation System (RRAMNS) is a vehicular mounted, real-time multi sensor landmine detection system and is capable of providing a quick and effective means of detecting and neutralising land mines. Compared to existing systems, RRAMNS provides a greater probability of mine detection with a low false alarm rate.

Tenix Defence Electronic Systems Division has developed the RRAMNS concept in partnership with Australia's Defence Science and Technology Organisation.

Description	Pertinent information
The Rapid Route and Area Mine Neutralisation System (RRAMNS) is a vehicular mounted, real-time multi-sensor landmine detection system. It integrates and fuses the outputs from a number of sensor technologies including: ground penetrating radar electro-optic sensor metal detection system The sensors' outputs are combined with a precise navigation system to produce a fused target picture with a high detection probability and reduced instances of false alarm.	The RRAMNS architecture has been developed to facilitate evolutionary upgrades of hardware, software and sensor technologies. The RRAMNS architecture utilises five key segments to provide capability: sweeping detection neutralisation proofing command and control

In response to the threat of landmines, Tenix Defence Electronic Systems Division, in partnership with the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) has developed the RRAMNS concept. RRAMNS has demonstrated an ability to fuse data from a ground penetrating radar, electro-optic system and metal detector combined with GPS and positional information to successfully detect land mines. In the majority of operational environments the RRAMNS results in a detection rate of better than 95.	Team Australia - Tenix Defence - Electronic Systems Division
