Schonstedt is a leading manufacturer of handheld magnetometers, also known as magnetic locators, used to detect Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and other explosive remnants of war (ERW). Demining professionals around the world use Schonstedt magnetic locators to find landmines and unexploded ordnance, favoring the instruments for their ergonomics, portability, and high degree of accuracy—in conditions and circumstances where accuracy really matters.
Schonstedt magnetometers find ferrous metal targets, such as cluster bombs, grenades, mortars, weapons caches and ammunition. They have been tested and proven by the US military, private contractors and NGOs in munitions response operations around the globe.
In collaboration with the United Nations Mine Action Service, the Schonstedt Humanitarian Demining Initiative (SHDI) has deployed over 550 Magnetic Locators to demining teams in more than 25 countries, at no cost to the receiving countries. This initiative represents an open-ended commitment by Schonstedt and donors to humanitarian demining operations in regions of the world, where it is most-needed, and where it would otherwise not be possible.
