The SAFEDEM project: objective, team, duration

SAFEDEM is a IAP ARTES 20 Demo Project, cofinanced by ESA, started in June 2013 and to be SAFEDEM is a IAP ARTES 20 Demo Project, cofinanced by ESA, started in June 2013 and to be concluded in 18 months. SAFEDEM answers to specific user needs and requirements relevant to the demining activities, providing a Service Portfolio of System & Service Components: providing a Service Portfolio of System & Service Components: SatImage, MiniUAS, Thematic-maps, Thematic-maps, Mine Action-maps Geoportal The service elements are independent and complementary: the Mine Action users can take advantage of a subset of them, chosen according to their specific operational and activities needs

The demining problem: terminology & scenarios

Land Release

the process of applying “all reasonable effort” to identify or better define CHA and remove all suspicion of mines/ERW through non technical survey, technical survey and/or clearance

Suspect Hazardous Area (SHA)

area suspected of having a mine/ERW hazard. A SHA can be identified by an impact survey, other form of national survey, or a claim of presence of explosive

Area (SHA)

impact survey, other form of national survey, or a claim of presence of explosive hazard

Confirmed Hazardous Area (CHA)

area identified by a non-technical survey in which the necessity for further intervention through either technical survey or clearance has been confirmed

Defined Hazardous

area, generally within a CHA, that requires full clearance. A DHA is normally

Defined Hazardous Area (DHA)

area, generally within a CHA, that requires full clearance. A DHA is normally identified through thorough survey

Non-technical Survey

(NTS)

important survey activity which involves collecting and analysing new and/or

existing information about a hazardous area. Its purpose is to confirm whether there

is evidence of a hazard or not, to identify the type and extent of hazards within any

hazardous area and to define, as far as is possible, the perimeter of the actual hazardous area and to define, as far as is possible, the perimeter of the actual hazardous areas without physical intervention. A non-technical survey does not normally involve the use of clearance or verification assets. Exceptions occur when

assets are used for the sole purpose of providing access for non-technical survey

• teams. The results from a non-technical survey can replace any previous data

relating to the survey of an area. relating to the survey of an area.

Technical Survey (TS)

detailed intervention with clearance or verification assets into a CHA, or part of a

• CHA. It should confirm the presence of mines/ERW leading to the definition of one or

more DHA and may indicate the absence of mines/ERW which could allow land to be released when combined with other evidence Clearance (CL)

tasks or actions to ensure the removal and/or the destruction of all mine and ERW

Clearance (CL) tasks or actions to ensure the removal and/or the destruction of all mine and ERW hazards from a specified area to a specified depth All Reasonable Effort

what is considered a minimum acceptable level of effort to identify and document contaminated areas or to remove the presence or suspicion of mines/ERW. “All reasonable effort” has been applied when the commitment of additional resources
