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.
