The Buried Objects Detection Facility is a unique facility operated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to evaluate new mine detection hardware.

The facility covers over 100 acres, of which 30 acres are in a secure enclosed area. The secure area contains 296 mines, 276 of which are available to experimenters to use for uniform calibration of their detection instruments, while the characteristics of the other 20 are kept from the experimenters. These 20 then become the actual search objects.
