MINE DETECTOR WITH GPR
AET-MR1
The AET-MR1 is a dual-sensor mine detector from Al Efah Technologies. It combines electromagnetic induction with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to find landmines and unexploded ordnance buried underground. It is designed for wartime and post-conflict demining. It also supports peacekeeping, counter-terrorism and security inspections by locating explosives, firearms, knives and other hazardous items hidden underground, underwater or inside buildings.

Key features
- Detects IEDs: the ground-penetrating radar finds objects concealed within different materials, including IEDs built with non-metallic components.
- Landmine detection: adjustable sensitivity lets it reliably find mines with minimal metal content, even at greater depths.
- UXO search: optimized for shallow-depth surveys and a wide range of metallic objects, including unexploded ordnance.
- Easy to use: vibration, audio and visual display alarms, and operators can be trained quickly.
- Soil compensation and cable detection: works in clay, sand, magnetic soil and red soil, and can detect cables.
- Field-ready: works from -40 °C to +50 °C, in moderate rain and at water depths up to 1 m.

AET-MR1 or AET-M3E?
The AET-MR1 adds ground-penetrating radar to the metal detector, so it can find IEDs with non-metallic components. For a lighter (≤ 3 kg), foldable metal-only detector with 12+ hours of battery life, see the AET-M3E mine detector.
