U.S. Army Receives Shipment of Advanced New Landmine Detectors; Only Handheld Detection System to Identify Metal and Non-Metal Mines in All Terrain
May 13, 2003 02:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003--CyTerra Corporation announced today that it has delivered 210 units of its advanced, new handheld landmine detection system to the U.S. Army. It is expected that Army Engineer units deployed to Southwest Asia will be among the first soldiers to use the new device to locate anti-personnel and anti-tank mines.
The detector, known as the Handheld Standoff Mine Detection System or HSTAMIDS, is the only system that can find both metallic and non-metallic mines, including the wood and plastic-cased explosives that caused a number of U.S. injuries and one fatality during Operation Enduring Freedom. Landmines have led to significant casualties in Afghanistan. Some estimate that there are up to 10 million landmines buried in Iraq.
