OUR SUPPORTED
PROJECTS
OVERVIEW
The focus is on sensor technology as well as basic questions on UAS (unmanned air systems), navigation and organization of mine detection.
​
It is an interdisciplinary challenge to use UAV (unmanned air vehicles) for the detection of mines, duds and similar weapon systems in such a way that they are 100% safe in any environment, on every surface and in all standard sprung sets.
​
Therefore, the Urs Endress Foundation specifically supports projects that lead to this goal systematically and works together with partners at home and abroad to ensure that our world can become mine-free.

THE PROJECTS
The starting point was a first feasibility study with the project name FindMine, which has been created to investigate the basic, technological feasibility of civilian mine detection from the air.
​
After their successful completion, various subprojects were launched in the analyzed fields of action and are being pursued steadily.
