SUMMARY
Airplane radars are not designed to detect buried objects such as mines due to their operational parameters, which focus on larger aerial targets. To scan minefields effectively, modifications to the radar system are necessary, including the integration of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology. This specialized equipment is capable of detecting subsurface anomalies, making it suitable for mine detection. The discussion highlights the limitations of conventional airplane radar systems in this context.
