Very short wave length (I think) Radar has shown itself to useful at detecting wires....but not to the degree needed for use by Helicopters landing off airport. (Unless someone knows of something that did work.)
Also.....Wire Cutters work best with some forward speed to assist the cutter in doing its work. The key there is to hit the Wire straight or nearly straight on and fairly level.
