The technology involves the use of unmanned devices to search for explosive objects and their marking on the fields.
This will simplify the work of explosive ordnance services involved in the demining of the occupied territories.
The technology was created by Frendt LLC together with scientists from the Vinnytsia National Technical University.
They combined remote control devices and conventional tractors.
«Mines in the fields are searched by agricultural machinery, the process takes place remotely — and this saves the lives of field workers and simplifies the work of the bomb technician,» the report says.
Metal detectors are attached to the tractor. The front one registers the information and sends it to the control center on-line.
The tractor automatically stops if a dangerous object is detected on the way. Then — waits for further instructions from the operator.
The technology is primarily relevant for the regions of Ukraine where the hostilities took place. The developers believe that later it will be in demand and for the 30% of the still occupied territory of Ukraine, as demining of territories will be a priority task after their liberation.

«The company is demonstrating the development of unmanned machinery that will work to return land to production in the liberated territories. Many are mined,» said Vyacheslav Sokolovoy.
The head of Vinnitsa Regional Council noted that the production of agricultural products is the food security of the country. Accordingly, a lot of attention should be paid to the demining of fields.
