The workshop was part of a two-month programme testing highly sophisticated Japanese de-mining equipment, which started at a military range in Benkovac near Zadar last week.
HCR director Otto Jungwirth and a representative of the Japanese Agency for Science and Technology, Katsuhisa Furuta, held a news conference to present the workshop.
Jungwirth said that all the equipment used so far to detect land mines was based on the audio detection of metal, while the Japanese equipment also offered the image of the object that is the source of sound.
Katsuhisa Furuta said that the upgrading of mine detection equipment started in 2002 and that the equipment had already been tested in Japan, with Croatia being the first foreign country with mine problems where the equipment was being tested.
