Kyiv Polytechnic hosts ‘Safe Distance’ event dedicated to HMA technologies
The Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute became both a platform and an active actor in the round table themed “Safe Distance,” centred round the use of remote sensing systems to detect dangerously explosive objects in the field of humanitarian mine action (HMA). These technologies minimise explosive ordnance risks to people and speed up the surveying of hazardous areas.
Ukrainian and international experts, representatives of the public sector, scientists, and members of the Kyiv Polytechnic administration worked together on practical solutions for a remote search for the explosives. The format of the event included panel discussions, the analysis of practical cases, and the joint development of new approaches, standards and methodological recommendations that will be viable within a single legal framework.
Kyiv Polytechnic participated in the event as an expert partner, drawing on its relevant practical experience. In particular, researchers from the Centre for Innovative Technologies in Humanitarian Demining at the Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management carry out international projects.
Special thanks are due to the event organisers for their initiative and constructive partnership: the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the Main Directorate for Mine Action, Civil Protection and Environmental Safety, and the Ukrainian Training and Testing Complex.
