Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of a domain review conducted within MineProbe project to study the challenging aspects of the problem of landmine and UXOs contamination in Egypt, to survey the current solutions used to face this problem, to gather the fundamental requirements for the technology-based solutions and to assess the different technologies which may help to solve this serious problem. MineProbe: A Distributed Mobile Sensor System for Minefield Reconnaissance and Mapping in Egypt is an applied research project that aims at developing a novel minefield reconnaissance and mapping system in Egypt focusing on North West Coast (NWC) as location of the action. MineProbe system encompasses a number of spatially distributed unmanned vehicles equipped with different types of sensors to detect obstacles, landmines and Unexploded Ordnances (UXOs). This system provides a minefield map in which the locations of the detected landmines and UXOs are identified. This map can be used later by the Army engineers to destroy or deactivate the identified ordnances in the field.
