Slide3: Previous and parallel results used PROJECT OBJECTIVES
To create a system capable of detecting and neutralising landmines in a safer and more effective way.
ANGEL – EUREKA! project ANGEL CONCEPT
A System providing an integrated global approach for demining from:
Level 1 Mission planning (satellite, historical evidence, etc.)
Level 2 Area reduction (multi-sensor air platform)
Level 3 Single target location (multi-sensor vehicle)
Level 4 Mine/UXO neutralisation (toolbox) STRATEGIC RESULTS
ANGEL provided an engine and a framework to start developing new demining technologies by assembling:
A users’ group
A group of sensor’s manufacturers and experts
An international working team
