Replacement Magnetometer EODD

The EODD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department) conducts ground investigations for UXO’s (Unexploded Ordnance) both within the Netherlands and during expeditionary operations. The EODD is responsible for supporting the Armed Forces. The EODD is a joint unit with the Army acting as the Single Service Manager (SSM). The EODD, as a unit, is involved in supporting all types of operations. In these operations there is often a need to locate UXO’s. This must be done with a ferrous detector (ground‑penetrating detection system) that can detect ferrous metals to a depth of at least 4 metres below the ground surface. This detector must be able to connect to and exchange data with the requested computer‑assisted detection equipment and must be GPS‑supported. In view of the age and usage of the existing ferrous‑detection equipment, it is due for replacement. Moreover, advances in detection techniques make it necessary to replace the current ferrous‑detection equipment.
