The HMDS is a mine clearance system, designed to support the army’s route and area clearance operations by detecting the surface laid and buried explosive threats, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) with pressure-activated trigger mechanisms, unexploded ordnance (UXO), landmines and weapons caches.

Since 2008, the systems have successfully detected pressure-plate IEDs prior to their detonation in a wide range of road surfaces and soil conditions in Afghanistan.
