The review attempts to analyze the problem of mine detection and outline the prospects for using soil properties that are useful in detecting explosive objects and creating new algorithms for processing relevant data. The article analyzes five main areas in which modern landmine detection technologies are divided. Their main advantages and disadvantages are identified. Using the example of metal detectors and ground-penetrating radar technology, the necessity of a detailed study of the main physical properties of soils is justified, which will enable more efficient use of appropriate technologies for detecting landmines.
