Ukrainian artificial intelligence developers UADamage are working on technology to speed up the identification of mines, shells and explosion craters, which may also contain dangerous debris.

Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology – Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov announced this today, February 12, in his Telegram channel.
Developers are connecting artificial intelligence to sensors. It identifies and classifies data about objects not only on the surface of the earth, but deep below it, and automatically plots it on a map. This way, mine clearance is accelerated tens of times, and the process as a whole becomes safer for people, Fedorov noted.
According to him, the technology from UADamage works in three stages;
- strategic planning – the team uses satellite imagery and data from cadastres to determine the extent of mining in the area;
- visual assessment for the presence of mines and explosive objects – the territory is examined by a drone with a camera, and artificial intelligence detects dangerous objects.
- inspection underground and in grass, where a variety of sensors are used.
The most difficult thing in the mine clearance process, besides the number of mines, is that they can be at a considerable depth and cannot be seen by metal detectors, the minister noted. — Connect your innovations to the Brave1 cluster. Let’s cleanse Ukraine of dirt together.
Fedorov noted that Ukraine today is one of the most mined countries in the world. The area of pollution is larger than the area of Austria and the Czech Republic combined.
