General information
- Short Summary
- A Ukrainian SME offers technology for detecting potentially dangerous objects, in particular unexploded ammunition and mines, based on pulsating electromagnetic sensing and data processing using artificial intelligence. A quick survey of large areas, high-precision detection of dangerous objects (ammunition, mines), and their marking on maps for further disposal are ensured. The SME is looking for partners and investors for refinement, international certification and use of the technology.
- Full Description
-
Today, there are enough territories in the world where, as a result of military conflicts, dangerous zones with possible mines have formed. For example, the estimated size of dangerous areas in Ukraine alone is almost 270,000 km².
The Ukrainian SME has developed scanning technology based on pulsating electromagnetic sounding and processing the received data with artificial intelligence (AI) in order to identify all potentially dangerous objects for further demining of the territory.
The prototype of the device that implements the technology has passed the stage of laboratory tests and is now at the stage of field tests.
Experimentally obtained preliminary technical characteristics of the device and technology are:
- The linear speed of moving the prototype is up to 40 km/h when using UAVs at heights of 100-1000 m;
- Detection depth/height: –10 m / +10 m;
- Dimensions of detected objects: from 10 cm and more.
Today, the prototype of the device needs testing in various conditions for self-learning of the neural network. Recording of measurements, calibration, and further certification of the device and technology is required.
Currently, the current cost of demining is approximately 4 USD/m². At a cost of about 1.5 USD/m², the application of the proposed technology and device will allow a quick and cheap survey of large areas (tens of times compared to existing methods), detection with high accuracy in any natural environments with different depths/heights of dangerous objects (ammunition, mines), their designation on maps.
Estimates show a reduction in the time of demining the entire territory of Ukraine, affected by the military aggression of the Russian Federation, from approximately 50 years with the existing methods to several years when using the proposed technology.
The SME is looking for foreign investors and partners to provide rapid calibration testing, international certification of the device and technology, and further sharing. - Advantages and Innovations
