Locating Minefield Procedure

Appx.500 sq km

Goal No mines

Mine Clearance

• Methodology
• 1. Collect and analyze all relevant data and information of

minefields in Thailand

• Level 1 Impact Survey, past accidents,etc. from TMAC Data Base room
• Satellite images
• History of fighting, local military units, etc.
• Interview the local villager, ex- military, ex- insurgent, etc.
• 2. Draw draft mapping of possible mine fields
• 3. Field confirmation by technical survey teams

Models Development for Locating Mine field procedure

(IMAS will strictly be followed)

Canceling Survey Areas that have been used over confident period of time

such as farm lands, recreation areas, etc. and no evidence

• f explosive hazard, can be identified as safe areas

• f explosive hazard, can be identified as safe areas

Releasing Survey for low contaminated area where random check is made

by technical survey, area with negative result will be identified as safe areas

Boundary Survey for high contaminated area where majority of the area show

evidence of explosive hazard, will be marked and identified as mine fields

Method & Equipment that could be used together with Locating Minefield Procedure

Deploy de-miner and dog to make new border line of mine fields Install warning signs

Other appropriate Methods:

• Rake
• Pulling rope
• Etc.

Machine or other methods will be used for assuring the safety of: Public land, recreation attraction, govt. area currently used

EOD Team clear Spot Tasks during Procedure

UXO around living area UXO left near farm land Public forest

Expected Outcome

• Reduction in total landmine contaminated areas
• Realistic, accurate contaminated areas (mine fields)
• Many safe areas will be released for public uses
• Spot tasks will be cleared or disposed
• Marking of accurate contaminated areas can be made
• Technical Survey Report of each mined field, useful for next

clearance activities

• New clearance priority can be obtained; based on actual mine fields
• Final mine clearance plan can be made more effective and

practicable
