Izvestia: The Minskan system will create minefield maps using AI
The new demining system “Minsk” will create maps of minefields, which will allow detecting ammunition eight times faster. The advantages of the development were revealed “News”.
Minskan is a mid-range drone with a ground penetrating radar. It will fly over minefields, detect shells, and then use artificial intelligence (AI) to create a map of the area.
The system was created by representatives of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The developers emphasize that Minskan covers an area eight times larger than a regular sapper. In addition, in this case there is no risk to humans.
“You open the laptop, set the flight task, the device takes off and explores a certain area. A person with a remote control backs up the process, but in general the drone copes with the task on its own. The ground penetrating radar can operate at temperatures from minus 40 to plus 40 degrees. The drone flies in a crosswind of up to 15 m/s. The system has already been developed and tested,” explained a university representative.
Earlier, a sea mine washed up on the Black Sea coast in Sochi. The video captured the moment when tourists from the Russian resort were retrieving the munition from the water, the video was published by the Telegram channel “Military Observer”. The footage shows several young people in bathing suits rolling a round spiked object onto the beach. According to the channel, the munition could be one of the drifting Ukrainian mines.
