DARPA's "electronic dog's nose" programme
Article Abstract:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched an agressive three-year, US$25-million program in 1997 to develop and produce instruments that can detect land mines via their chemical signatures. The initiative has been aided considerably by advances in electronic sensors and the understanding of biological systems that promise to revolutionize chemical detection. The most prevalent technologies in use or under development for land mine detection include ground-penetrating radars, infrared systems and electromagnetic induction metal detectors. DARPA is running the program as a multidisciplinary endeavor involving a variety of industrial firms and scientific institutes.
