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 Project Team End-users Stakeholder Valeria Fabbroni, Head of Operations, 8th of May 2014 – www.fsd.ch

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 suspected of having a mine/ERW hazard . A SHA can be identified by an Area (SHA) Area (SHA) impact survey, other form of national survey, or a claim of presence of explosive impact survey, other form of national survey, or a claim of presence of explosive hazard Confirmed Hazardous area identified by a non - technical survey in which the necessity for further Area (CHA) intervention through either technical survey or clearance has been confirmed Defined Hazardous Defined Hazardous area, generally within a CHA, that requires full clearance . A DHA is normally area, generally within a CHA, that requires full clearance . A DHA is normally Area (DHA) identified through thorough survey Non - technical Survey important survey activity which involves collecting and analysing new and/or (NTS) 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) Clearance (CL) tasks or actions to ensure the removal and/or the destruction of all mine and ERW 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 Valeria Fabbroni, Head of Operations, 8th of May 2014 – www.fsd.ch reasonable effort” has been applied when the commitment of additional resources
SAFEDEM proof-of-the-concept area of Hadžici, near Sarajevo, proposed by BHMAC was selected as test area in the SAFEDEM feasibility Study Hazard and risk assessment maps (Mine Activity Maps) produced with geo - spatial reasoning and multivariate analysis combining multivariate analysis combining Satellite Images (Optical, SAR) RPAS data/products Thematic Maps BHMAC delivered minefield records The detected indicators were assessed by BHMAC The detected indicators were assessed by BHMAC High Risk Areas V.S.
