Mobile Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Humanitarian Demining
… of land in more than 80 countries. Humanitarian demining seeks to rid the world of landmines and return local populations to their displaced land. To meet this goal, surveys of hazardous areas, describing their location and contents, are used to produce threat maps for a given location and secure …

Recovering Territory: The Thick Geopolitics of Demining in Postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina and Wartime Ukraine
Demining is not only a technical matter, but also a geopolitical one. Landmines pose a violent threat to human and non-human life alike, and have enduring material effects on territories and ecologies. They defy the spatio-temporal limits of battlespaces, and entrench the territorial logic of wars …

Development of the "Discretized Dynamic Expanding Zones with Memory" Autonomous Mobility Algorithm for the Nemesis Tracked Vehicle Platform
… platform is a differentially driven Humanitarian Demining tractor developed by Applied Research Associates, Inc. The vehicle is capable of teleoperational control and is outfitted with a sensor suite used for detecting and neutralizing landmines. Because the detection process requires the vehicle …

A GIS Model for Minefield Area Prediction: The Minefield Likelihood Procedure
… maps for minefield detection sensors, demining teams, or for avoidance. These maps could define the "high payoff" search areas for remote sensors, such as ASTAMIDS, and positively identify minefields. These maps could also be used by humanitarian relief agencies for consideration when …
