It was a privelage to present a case study titled: Beyond the Visible – Multispectral & TIR sUAS Minefield Mapping at the Mine Action 2025 Symposium that tool place from April 1 to 3 in Cavtat, Croatia.

This work was a small part of the Odyssey 2025 Project led by Handicap International/Humanity & Inclusion, with Mobility Robotics responsible for research and development and conducting sensor trials.
The project has been made possible by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Netherlands (BUZA) as donors.

A point of difference is that this was a case study from live minefields with in-situ landmines containing real explosives, not just theory or experiments using simulated targets at a test site.

A copy of the presentation is available here.

Knowledge from futher afield was also drawn upon from experirence in operating small drones (a.k.a UAVs, sUAS, RPAS) at more than three hundred minefields and BAC sites around the world.

The symposium brought together over 200 participants from 32 countries. More information is available here.
