ArroTech personnel in Ukraine successfully scanned an acreage in the Chernihiv Oblast, pinpointing the locations of multiple items of interest with the autonomous GEON E61 drone and its metal-detecting system.
The mission, which was carried out at a field previously occupied by Russian troops, took place during the weekend of June 21-22, and was interrupted by air raid sirens, a sobering reminder of the dangerous context in which the operations were conducted.
Following years in which it focused on research and development spearheaded and directed by its co-owner and chief technical officer Tobias Leininger, ArroTech has embarked on a new project phase — field operations.
In so doing, ArroTech, whose U.S. headquarters are at TechFarms, is demonstrating its utility and capacity in neutralizing threats posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance. The purpose-built GEON E61 offers advantages including real-time data processing and delivery and obstacle avoidance. It is a system that dramatically increases scanning speeds while greatly improving deminers’ safety by eliminating the need for them to enter contaminated areas.
