Finding What’s Buried — Before It’s Found the Hard Way
Ground search and demining leave no room for error. Whether clearing land of explosive remnants, searching for buried weapons caches, or supporting counter-IED operations, teams depend on equipment that is sensitive enough to find low-metal-content threats yet rugged enough for harsh field conditions.
Reliability in the field is as important as raw detection performance — long operating time, simple operation under stress, and consistent results across difficult terrain all determine whether a tool earns its place on the team.
AFB Systems supports defence, security and humanitarian demining organisations across the GCC with proven detection technology and the training to deploy it effectively.
In ground search and demining, the biggest practical challenge isn’t only detecting threats — it’s cutting the false alarms that mineralised soil and buried scrap metal trigger on single-sensor detectors. The sector is moving decisively toward multi-sensor detection that separates genuine threats from harmless clutter, letting teams clear ground faster and more safely. For field operators, fewer nuisance alarms translate directly into less risk and more area covered per shift.
- ✓ Finds low-metal threats others walk straight past
- ✓ Light enough to carry all shift, ready to deploy fast
- ✓ Holds steady across difficult, mineralised terrain
- ✓ Simple enough to train a team on quickly
Three Sensors, One Tool
What sets the CMD3 apart is that it combines three detection technologies in a single unit — catching threats that a metal detector alone would miss, while filtering out the clutter that causes false alarms.

MD
|
Metal Detector
Finds magnetic and non-magnetic low-metal-content mines in all soil conditions.
|
|
CRD
|
Carbon Rod Detector
Detects non-metallic IED components — graphite switches, short wires and high-resistivity materials.
|
|
WD
|
Command Wire Detector
Detects command wires of any diameter — with no nuisance alarms from other metal or clutter.

Detection Is Only as Good as the Operator
In the field, technique matters as much as the equipment. Correct sweep speed, ground balancing and target discrimination make the difference between a confident clearance and a missed threat. CEIA backs its detectors with a structured training programme — operator certification, instructor certification and first- and second-line maintenance courses, delivered by certified CEIA trainers.
AFB Systems helps ground-search and demining teams across the GCC access that training and get full, reliable performance from their CEIA detectors — whether at your site or at AFB’s facility in Dubai.
“Ground search and demining are among the most demanding jobs in our field — the margin for error is zero. Teams deserve equipment they can trust and the training to use it well. If your organisation operates in this space, we would be glad to support you.”
