Each day an average of 10 people die or get injured on the minefields. Every day! But if until now it sounded like an impossible mission, today there is a solution for this serious problem. This is the dream of the creators of the Mine Kafon Drone which promise that their drone can clear all the minefields in the world.
We are proud to introduce you the amazing innovation Mine Kafon Drone, which is an airborne demining system built to clear all the land mines around the globe.
More than 60 countries worldwide have landmine problems. According to the evaluation over 100 million mines are placed on different locations. The use of anti-personnel mines is prohibited by the Geneva Convention, but unfortunately it does not prevent their installation. For landmine removal are used animals, deminers or machinery, but unfortunately none of these methods is not sufficiently effective.
The Mine Kafon Drone will map the whole area, there is the possibility of installing a metal detector or a mechanical arm that can place devices to detonate. After setting up the device, the drone will move away on a greater distance and will activate the detonator, and thus the mines. The whole process is in three stages. First, the drone flies and maps the entire minefield. Then with an attached detector, it flies low, about 4 inches from the ground and enters the GPS coordinates of all mines. Finally it flies with detonators that set the mines, and when this will end, it activates them. This way of removing mines is 20 times faster than all the methods that we use now.
The project has already collected the necessary funds on Kickstarter. Over 2,800 supporters have donated more than 110,000 euros. Until the closing of the Kickstarter campaign remain 23 days, and with additional funds that will be collected the makers will create a better version of the drone that would have a higher capacity battery.
