Abstract

Context of the work is due to the need to increase the efficiency of engineering reconnaissance by ensuring the invariance of the characteristics of the search and detection of mines, which are masked by the soil, to the physical and chemical characteristics of their form-forming surface and the surrounding environment. Objective of the work is to increase the efficiency and ensure the safety of humanitarian demining. Is the engineering synthesis of the optimal system of search and location of mines based on the criterion of maximum likelihood and analysis of its operational characteristics.
The analysis of known location methods for searching, detecting and localizing mines, which are disguised in the soil, has been carried out. It is shown that they do not ensure the invariance of search and accuracy characteristics to the material of the mine’s form-forming surface within the framework of design and operational limitations in terms of weight and dimensions. For the first time, a mathematical model was proposed and substantiated, a technical structure was synthesized, and an analysis of the integrated location monitoring system was performed in the interests of humanitarian demining based on the developed methodology for integrating radar and radiometric channels of observation in the millimeter range of radio waves. The issues of technical implementation of the synthesized system on the element base accessible to developers are considered. The geomonitoring methodology has received further development in the interest of humanitarian demining to ensure the invariance of search and accuracy characteristics of the mine detector to the physical parameters of the form-forming surface of the mines and the surrounding background of the area.

Keywords: humanitarian demining, electromagnetic wave, energy contrast, millimeter range, radar surveillance channel, radiometric surveillance channel.
