Dual Sensor Detector, combining unique Metal Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar technologies to provide superior results.
Overview
The MDS-10 combines unique Metal Detection (MD) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technologies to provide superior results in the detection of metal and non-metal targets including:
- Landmines
- Cluster munitions
- Unexploded ordnance
- Wires
- Improvised Explosive Devices
Features
Metal Detection (MD) and Ground Penetrating Radar Technologies (GPR)
Variable Metal Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar sensitivity with volume control.
Continuous real-time display of Metal Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar detections with the ability to pause graphical image for increased scrutiny of potential target.
Combining Minelab’s patented Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Digital technology and Chemring’s proven Ultra WideBand Impulse Radar to detect all conductive and non-conductive targets of interest in varied soil conditions and operating environments.
User Interface
The MDS-10 is easy to operate — even with one gloved hand. The comprehensive User Interface is designed for intuitive operation and minimising operator training requirements.
It has a 3.5 inch waterproof and shockproof QVGA display, compatible with Night Vision Goggles, delivering optimal performance during tactical operations.
Form Factor
Extremely compact and lightweight detector to reduce operator fatigue.
Constructed from impact resistant materials and designed to survive in any operating environment (MIL-STD-810G).
Waterproof — IP68.
Accurate Target Location
- Detection, Interrogation and Pinpointing modes.
- Tactical Mode for night operations.
- Fast and accurate location of targets.
Sensor Combination
Metal Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar sensors able to operate independently or simultaneously, providing selectable visual, haptic (vibration) and audio alerts to the operator.
Safe
Inability to accidentally switch off both sensors and all operator alerts — provision of a “heartbeat” during operation — and Built-In-Test equipment to monitor and confirm detector functionality.
Robust and Convenient
- Compatible with Night vision goggles
- Battery charger
- Adjustable search head
- Impact resistant hard transit cases contains soft carry bag, detector and accessories.
Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-ion batteries are often used in Tier 1 military radios and AA battery adapter pack.
