    Abstract: Through this study it is present a review of the technologies for the detection of plastic mines,
exposing the techniques used for locating landmines (AP) and Anti-Tank (AT), allowing for the developments
that have been giving in this field in the country. The first part of the study presents the current mining
situation in Colombia and in the world. The second part presents the most outstanding techniques in
identification of plastic mines or with low metal content, emphasizing the implementation of Ground Penetration
Radar (GPR) as the identification technique that has presented better results. Finally, it is present a study of
the processing and identification techniques that are used together with the methods of detection and the
conclusions obtained from the research.
