I think there is a market for an ATV radar to

There are a variety of such techniques- and I'm involved in some
ground breaking (haha) development on a method that works from fixed
wing aircraft.


Do tell.

To say there is a market is an IMMENSE understatement.
Resources are white hot, and anything that helps find them is valuable
almost beyond imagination.


I recall a couple conversations with friends about
the use of molecular resonance to locate specific
minerals. This stuff is 'way above my head.
