The Japanese company Prodrone conducted tests in Ukraine on a drone designed to detect anti-personnel mines from the air.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by NHK.
The device was tested on Monday in Kyiv. To test its performance, already defused mines were used: some were laid out on the surface, while the rest were buried in the ground to a depth of about 15 centimeters. The drone, equipped with a metal detector, conducted the search at an altitude of about 30 centimeters.
Prodrone, which is collaborating with Ukrainian companies to develop drones for detecting anti-personnel mines, received a grant from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
A representative of the Japanese company noted that anti-personnel mines prevent people from returning to normal life. According to him, the company hopes that its technologies will become an effective solution for humanitarian demining.
