humble3d Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Drone Wants to Rid The World Of Landmines Please let this life-saving, kickstarter drone campaign take off A Netherlands-based Kicktstarter campaign wants to use drones to get rid of landmines in the next decade. The Mine Kafon Drone is an aerial vehicle that can map landmine-rich environments, do effective sweeping searches with metal detectors, and plant detonators before escaping to a safe distance—all without a single living foot touching the ground. It's a drone that could potentially save thousands of lives, with the body and chassis of something reminiscent of an Imperial Probe Droid. Or one of those squid-like things from The Matrix. Still, the world would be a better place with a few hundred of these running around. http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/19/12222104/landmine-detecting-drone-mine-kafon-drone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
