In the Netherlands, they created a mine -toy -inspired system

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/d8/4a/ib-free757_2573d739.jpg" Alt = "in the Netherlands created a mine-toy system"/> < P > The Dutch Company Mine Kafon has introduced a budget & nbsp; a miners inspired by a baby toy that can neutralize mines 20 times faster and 200 times cheaper than traditional methods, writes & nbp; nbp; army; < H2 Class = "" > How did the mine -toy -inspired by the baby toy were created < Ul > < l > The idea of ​​creating a wind & nbsp; a device for neutralizing min & nbsp; with & rsquo; appeared in Hassan's Masuda as a child. & Amp; nbsp; ~ ~ ~ < l > he grew up in Kabul, where he played with his brother near mine fields, launching toys moving wind. & Amp; nbsp; < li >After escaping from Afghanistan at the age of 14, Hassana settled in the Netherlands and later studied industrial design at the Design Academy. & Amp; nbsp; ~ < li > his diploma project was Mine Kafon Ball & mdash; a device capable of detonating anti -personnel mines.

< h2 class = "" > What is known about Mine Kafon Ball < Ul > < LI > The sphere is weight equivalent to an adult man, and consists of a 17-kilogram of iron nucleus surrounded by dozens of flexible bamboo legs with plastic tips. < LI > The device moves on the ground under the action of the wind, detoning & nbsp; mines & nbsp; and at the same time fixing your route through & nbsp; gps. & Amp; nbsp; ~ ~ ~ > < LI > Navigation data is transmitted for further coordination < l > Despite visual simplicity and innovation, the device itself has limited practical application. & Amp; nbsp; < li >Experts say it is suitable for detecting suspicious zones but difficult to repair after blasting.

< h2 class = "" > What is known about Mine Kafon Drone & nbsp;

< p > based on the concept of the ball, the Hassani team developed a Mine Kafon Drone (MKD) & mdash; Air platform for autonomous detection and disposal of mines. Dron works according to the three -stage scheme:

< Ul > < li > 1. & nbsp; mapping of terrain using visual sensors and & nbsp; 3D scanning. ~ < li > 2. & nbsp; detection of mines using a metal detector on a advanced hand. < li > 3. & nbsp; installation of a detonator and drowning drone at a safe distance before blasting.

< P > The system has GPS navigation, cameras and performs onboard calculations. According to developers, this technique is 20 times faster and 200 times cheaper than traditional methods that require participation & nbsp; sappers, dogs or heavy equipment.

~ < h2 class = "" > What plans for the future at Mine Kafon Foundation < P > Currently Mine Kafon Foundation is being prepared for a large -scale pilot project to clean the area of ​​150 square kilometers & mdash; These are about 37 thousand football fields. The process is divided into two stages:

< Ul > < li > In the first stage there are 10 cartograph drones that investigate the territory for two months; < li > on the second & mdash; 50 Drones-Appears are working to detect mines for another six months.
