Detection of a LandMine in Chernozem Based of the Seismic Echo Signal of the Rayleigh Wave in the Transitional Frequency Range

The main objective of the study was to experimentally confirm the physical feasibility of detecting anti-vehicle mines in soil using reflected Rayleigh seismic waves within the transitional frequency range of 70–180 Hz. Particular attention was given to verifying the possibility of forming a directional Rayleigh detection wave by means of an array of geoacoustic sources. The experiments were conducted in chernozem under conditions of a mine imitator buried at a depth of 30 cm and a distance of 6 meters from the emitter. A detailed description of the test conditions, characteristics of the experimental site, setup, and applied methodology is provided in the SEISMIC-AL/TRL-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17484555.
