Minehound VMR3 – Dual-Sensor Mine Detector
Dual-Sensor Detector with LED Display. The VMR3 "Minehound" dual-sensor detector is internationally proven. It is ideal for the simultaneous detection of metal and metal-free objects. This is a decisive advantage e.g. for the detection of IEDs.
- Ground Penetrating Radar and Metal Detection
- Rugged mechanical design with high-quality carbon telescoping carrying bar
- High sensitivity for high-efficiency soil compensation
- Detection of metal and metal-free objects such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
- Easily noticeable alarm indication (audio/visual/vibration)

The VMR3 "Minehound" dual-sensor detector is internationally proven. It is ideal for the simultaneous detection of metal and metal-free objects. This is a decisive advantage e.g. for the detection of IEDs.
Two different audio signals help the user distinguish between the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and metal detector (MD). The MD provides a simple alarm while the GPR supplies acoustic information on the depth and dimension of the object. Based on the settings, the audio signals are visually supported by the LED display.
The VMR3 is also characterized by its mechanical features: The use of carbon and glass fibre-reinforced plastic makes it extremely rugged and durable.
It meets high standards for military mine clearance and humanitarian demining.
Suitable for the following searches
-
Mines
Suited for mine detection. Thanks to maximum sensitivity, also reacts to mines with low or no metal content.
-
UXO
Ideal for shallow searching for all types of metal (e. g. unexploded ordnances, submunitions, etc.).
-
IED
Thanks to a ground-penetrating radar, it is ideal for efficiently searching for objects with low or no metal content.
