Target Acquisition Minefield Detection System

Target Acquisition Minefield Detection System (also known as the ""Airborne Standoff Minefield Detection System", abbreviated as ASTAMIDS) is a bomb-detection system engineered to detect improvised explosive devices (IED). It provides a Unit of Action (UA) asset that can be used in Tactical Operations in day or night, to detect and locate surface obstacles and recently buried minefields. ASTAMIDS is currently being tested in the Northrup Grumman MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle.
