Good news for EOD, and I assume Combat Engineers might get this as well. Only one more piece of gear to pack around! MSgt Cayle Harris

What this new tech should be doing is mark an area, tag its area to the personnel, remember where the area is, and warn if you approach it so you can manoeuvre around it TSgt David L. Also, go Air Force!

There are K-9s trained to due this mission. I'd rather have the dog personally, but that isn't my job! LOL It's good to have new equipment to help this area. I'm curious to see how it works for buried/roadside IEDs.
