Why isn't there a technology that can find mines by looking for irregular heat signatures when the sun heats up the cold ground after sunrise?

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're assuming the mines are planted in uniform soil with no vegetation. The heat signatures would be indistinguishable from natural variation due to the varying density of vegetation and shadows if I had to guess.

You are right. I guess I was thinking a bit too much of MGS1 πŸ˜„

You could try to do this, but the value is limited.
The best thing it could acheive is to tell you there is a minefield there, which is useful to know, but it's not going to help very much in clearing the field unless you know that the system detects every single mine and can record it's exact position.

You're right. I guess when "clearing" a minefield, you need to be 100 % sure there are no mines left.

Or at least confident you have cleared cerian areas
