Brand Name Mandatory The Vallon Mine Detectors (VMH3CS, VMC1 and VMR3) use advanced technology combining leading edge ground penetrating radar (GPR) and high performance metal detectors. Unique features include: (1) A dual sensor metal for non-metallic mines which provides more precise detection capabilities utilizing GPR and high performance metal detector. (2) Clear audio signals to alert an operator to the presence of potential mine threats. When a threat is located, the metal detector audio provides accurate position information and mass of metal indication. The GPR audio provides additional position and depth information, and gauges the radar cross-section to the target. (3) A special soil program which allows the metal detector to adapt to the local soil Conditions . The Vallon Metal Detectors detect Anti-Personnel and Anti-Tank mines in almost all soil conditions except for heavy clay and saltwater. (4) Responses to the smallest flush buried mine (diam.>5cm) and detection of mines with minimum or zero metal contents, which is usually not detected by other metal detectors on the market. The Vallon mine detectors were designed specifically for use in the most challenging military and humanitarian demining operations and provide lightweight portability. Previous procurements of the detectors have proven to be very reliable in the field. Delivery is required to be 8 weeks after contract award for CLINs 0001-Clin 0003.
