While there are many efforts to develop more advanced autonomous vehicles that can be used for both device location and detonation, Raman spectroscopy has become one of the most widely adopted chemical sensing techniques. A variant of Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which is sensitive to species deposited on surface layers, has been of particular interest for remote landmine detection.
