CEIA DSMD Digital Deep Search Metal Detector
The CEIA DSMD is a digital deep search metal detector for finding unexploded ordnance (UXO) and cluster munitions. It is an active electromagnetic induction (EMI) device that transmits a low frequency alternating magnetic field and picks up the changes caused by buried metal masses. It is designed for the accurate detection of deeply buried medium to large metal objects, while ignoring ground magnetic anomalies and small metal fragments. It is made by CEIA of Arezzo, Italy a long-standing maker of ground search and security detectors and is used for humanitarian demining, range clearance, and EOD operations.
Key Features
- Detects magnetic and non-magnetic UXO and cluster munitions: effective on a broad range of buried threats
- Superior detection depth: designed for deeply buried targets, beyond the reach of standard handheld detectors
- High discrimination against shallow clutter: reduces false alarms from surface metal fragments
- Automatic soil compensation: works in every type of terrain with immunity to environmental magnetic anomalies and heavily mineralized soil
- Static and dynamic detection: works independently of the operator rate of advance
- Completely digital electronics: with in field program memory upgrade capability
- Embedded GPS and inertial navigation: records position automatically
- Automatic detection data logging: supports quality control of cleared areas
- Graphical interface with auto-diagnostics: a microcomputer controlled self check with audible optical, and vibration warning signals
- Modular design: a telescopic tube and two probe antennae (transmit and receive) mounted at the ends of the extensions needing minimal assembly time
- Fast integrated battery charger
- Optional DGNSS: a differential satellite navigation unit for centimeter level georeferencing recorded together with the metal detector signal strength
Typical Applications
- UXO and cluster munitions clearance
- Humanitarian demining and battle area clearance
- Firing range and former military site remediation
- Deep search for large buried metal objects
- Documented clearance with logged positions for quality assurance
Why Choose It
The CEIA DSMD finds deeply buried ordnance that standard detectors miss and it does so reliably in difficult soils. Automatic data logging and GPS give clearance teams the documentation they need to prove an area has been properly searched.
