Explosive Ordnance Detection

Unexploded ordnance still poses a serious threat in many regions worldwide. FOERSTER supports detection and clearance efforts with advanced magnetic and electromagnetic technologies that reliably locate buried metal objects – even decades after conflicts have ended.

Explosive ordnance detection is a vital safety task, as bombs and munitions from past and recent conflicts remain hidden underground. FOERSTER provides decades of expertise and technology to support safe detection, clearance, and site assessment. Our systems use both active electromagnetic induction and passive magnetometer methods to locate metallic objects at varying depths. Electromagnetic induction is ideal for near-surface detection, while fluxgate magnetometers measure magnetic field disturbances caused by ferrous materials, making it possible to detect deeper ordnance and assess contamination areas. FOERSTER solutions combine precision, robustness, and sensitivity – ensuring safety for people, infrastructure, and the environment.
