mine clearance operations
Mine clearance operations involve locating, identifying, and safely removing landmines and unexploded ordnance from areas, often after conflicts. Teams use specialized equipment like metal detectors, probes, and robotic devices to detect mines. Once identified, safely situating or neutralizing the devices removes danger to civilians, agriculture, and infrastructure. The process requires careful planning, safety protocols, and expertise to prevent accidental detonation. Effective mine clearance helps restore safe access to land, supports recovery efforts, and reduces casualties, enabling communities to rebuild and use the land securely.
