Military uses of GPR focus primarily on the location and detection of buried explosive devices.  For area clearing, GPR is used on ranges and old sites to identify unexploded ordnance (UXO).  More recent live campaign applications involve the real-time location and identification of buried improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and buried fusing mechanisms.
