Gunnery Sergeant John Crane, of U.S. Marine Corps Systems
Command, Quantico, Va., tests the Quantum Magnetics prototype mine detection system on a
test grid at Eagle Base in Tuzla, Bosnia. The test grid was 10 feet by 10 feet, marked
into one foot squares, and contained six antipersonnel-mine-like targets and two
antitank-mine-like targets, along with spent cartridges to serve as metal
"clutter." The system detected both metal and non-metal targets, and did not
experience false alarms due to the spent cartridges. Quantum Magnetics scientists Andrew
Hibbs and Stephie Vierkotter observe in the background.
