Awarded through NIITEK’s distributor, IBCOL Polska, the $1.4m contract includes 50 Groundshark dual sensor handheld detectors.

Groundshark is a commercially available and user-friendly dual sensor handheld detector, developed by combining NIITEK’s ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and Minelab Electronics’ advanced metal detector.

The system is designed to identify and visualise subsurface metallic and non-metallic objects for use in a variety of tasks for soldiers, civilians and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) personnel.

The latest addition to NIITEK’s battle-proven GPR technology, it is a derivative of the husky-mounted detection system (HMDS), which is currently used by the US Army and US Marine Corps, as well as the Canadian, Australian, Spanish, Italian, and Turkish armies.

Deliveries are expected to start next month, although the identity of the Polish military branch using the detectors remains undisclosed.
