Abstract

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 and fusion modules to detect 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. This paper provides an overview on MineProbe project and summarizes the key findings obtained so far from this ongoing project.
