  • Abstract
    In normal practice, the traditional method used for the detection of mines is by sending a human being into the minefield that carries with him the mine detector. Keeping in view the importance of human life, machines can be used to detect the mines, thus minimizing the casualty rate to zero percent. Due to the advancement in satellite receiver tracking systems, an integrated system employing latest tracking techniques using satellite receiver in the form of GPS integrated with an aerospace vehicle can be used to detect the exact location of mine in the mine field. Radio frequency transmitter controls the aerospace vehicle. The idea of detecting mines by integrating the above-mentioned technologies is implemented on a hovercraft using Global Positioning System as a tracking tool
