As a legacy of the Iraq / Iran war, large areas were covered with unexploded ordnance. As these weapons deteriate, they become less stable. Cleaning up the mess after a war costs billions of dollars - it is estimated that for every UXO located, it costs $1000 - and unfortuanately, quite a few lives and limbs. We contacted a few ground survey companies to suggest use of the Hov Pod Hovercraft as a large metal detector. The HDPE hull is easy to fit detection equipment. First we attach magnetometers, and then GPS mapping, to plot results. Very quickly, operatives can scan a large area to record tracks where UXO might be located. Engineers then use these GPS maps to quickly identify potential threats. Using these methods, the Hov Pod can also find mineral deposits, ancient sites, oil, gold, treasure.
