I have volunteered to try and make a circuit to detect meatal and or mines. I will go through the details below. Many details may be missing becuase I was not told them since this is just a prototype.
The circuit will be attached to the bottom of a drone about the size of your palm. This means it has to be light and small. The main aim of this ciruit is to detect metal or mines and display them on a map so you can see where it detected it. Currently this is a prototype so it doesnt have to be small or light, but in the end I need it to be able to be shrunk and made lighter for the drone. The drone is probably about 1 - 2 feet off the floor so it will need to be able to detect metal / mines from that height.
Can you please recommend any technology that might work for this. I'm thinking of the maybe something like in the voltage pens (the ones you put next to a wire to see if it is live without having to get to the copper to test)
Thanks,
Bod
