Countermine Operations | From mined land to farmland

Demining and Equipment

	Manual demining Where mechanical access is restricted, a manual deminer may not experience difficulty. When problems arise, information can be readily obtained from personnel. Through questioning, reasons for action can be discussed and studied, and plans can then be made for remedial action.
	Explosive Detection Dogs (EDD) As there is the possibility that an explosive device could be made up any number of different explosive materials it is important to train explosive detection dogs to detect the core scents found in all combinations.
	Mechanical demining Clearing anti-personnel mines by hand is a slow process and given the scope of the problem worldwide, there is a need for faster and more efficient alternatives. Mechanical mine clearing equipment would seem to be the logical answer and many devices have been developed and used in the field with varying degrees of success.
