Seems to me that the low-tech IED’s are creating havoc among high-tech methods trying to counter them in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This site shows a low-tech technique that employs a few wires and uses natural electric currents to find buried objects.
It’s designed for the foot soldier and could be much more effective than the hi-profile, hi-tech techniques under examination now.
Video clips show detection of metal, plastics, and objects buried under used tires.
I never see any GI’s using anything but their feet or at best a squad using metal detectors.
