Abstract
Arab Republic of Egypt suffer from the absence of maps that show spread of landmines locations planted from World War II in the Egyptian western desert "El Alamein region" in addition to the lack of funds and the limited use of technology. This paper presents an enhancements of the method of mine detection of previously published research paper in [1], enhancements include a new direct approach for remote sensing based on the concept of metal detectors to expansion of the ground, which are scanned in addition to the accuracy in detection of explosives and the ability to re-check them many times to identify landmines locations. The solution based on integrated technologies by using the wireless communications, cellular technologies, the packet oriented mobile data service and sensor technology to obtain a full control from a safe distance for landmine monitoring team in El Alamein region. GSM sound tracker, GPS tracker, smart cellphones plus advanced applications and RC truck equipment were brought together to do three main tasks for metal landmines, a)Tracing,-b)Detecting,-c)pinpoint coordinates.
