Annual Casualties

The Global Bottleneck

  • Incumbent models are slow, manual, and high-risk.
  • They scale by manpower, not technology.
  • They rely on guesswork, not subsurface data.
  • This leads to massive waste and stagnant progress.

The Current Workflow: Slow, Manual, & Costly

Non-Technical Survey (NTS)

  • 📋 Interviews, maps, local reports, field observation.
  • 📋 Produces large, low-confidence grids.
  • 📋 Significant overestimation → wasted months and millions.
Time:
2–10+ Weeks

Technical Survey (TS)

  • 🔍 Vegetation clearing, lane cutting, detector sweeps.
  • 🔍 Massive time spent digging non-threat metal clutter.
  • 🔍 Slow, manpower-limited, dangerous, expensive.
Time:
3–12+ Months

Clearance & Disposal

  • ✓ Mechanical assets are deployed exactly where needed.
  • ✓ Manual deminers work only in the lanes validated by NTS and TS.
  • ✓ EOD personnel render safe or dispose of UXO.
Result:
Precise Execution
💡
GLOBAL PROBLEM: 70+ countries face the same bottleneck — teams search "blind" inside large grids with little subsurface intelligence.
