Course Description
This specialized course is designed to familiarize all participants with cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills to apply modern drone technologies in humanitarian demining operations. Developed through a partnership between HWC LLC (Ukraine) and Doring Engineering Buro GmbH (Germany), the course is tailored to meet the needs of post-conflict recovery efforts in Ukraine and other affected regions.
Purpose and Aims
The course aims to enhance national capacity in mine action through exposure to the latest UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technologies and data-driven tools. It provides a comprehensive overview of drone-based demining systems and prepares participants to assess, deploy, and manage these solutions in field conditions.
