Demine Ukraine Forum: UDS Presented Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team
One of the most significant events in the field of humanitarian demining this year, the Demine Ukraine 2024 forum, took place recently, bringing together over 450 participants, including representatives from government, international organizations, businesses, non-governmental initiatives, and demining experts.
The forum served as a platform for analyzing achievements of the past year, outlining challenges, and presenting innovative solutions to enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian demining.
UDS joined the event and presented its explosive ordnance disposal team to the participants. Specifically, the team demonstrated its technical equipment and armored vehicles: a specialized Toyota Hilux for transporting explosives and a Ford Transit Connect armored vehicle, equipped with a level 3 protection capsule, designed to transport UDS sapper personnel while performing tasks.
It is worth noting that UDS is certified in all major humanitarian demining processes, including the process of neutralizing (destroying) mines and unexploded ordnance.
Our processes include:
- Non-technical survey
- Technical survey
- Demining using machines and mechanisms
- Manual demining
- Clearing areas of active hostilities
- Neutralization (destruction) of mines/unexploded ordnance
- Informing the population about the risks associated with mines and unexploded ordnance
- Underwater demining
We would like to thank the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, Demine Ukraine, and the Humanitarian Demining Center for such a useful and interesting event!
