Short summary
A new approach, based on the MRB magnetic field measurements radiated by two fixed and spaced RTI three-component magnetic field receivers and the solution of the inverse problem using these measurement results, was proposed and the concept of the MILES equipment for MRB search and localization was developed and successfully tested.
