John Keller writes the Army Contracting Command will assess the counter IED and mine suite above-surface detection system from Israel Aerospace Industries’ Elta Systems group.

The Elta sensor system is designed to help protect tactical maneuvering military vehicles and incorporates two subsystems such as the above-surface detection system and underground mine and IED detection system, according to the report.

The mine and IED detection system features a radar and a magnetic detector, Keller reports.
