Improving Mine Clearance Safety with Advanced Positioning Technology

We're pleased to share our latest project update on a system that aims to significantly advance humanitarian demining efforts. Collaborating with Mifi Maps, we've developed an innovative solution designed to track multiple rovers with centimetre-level accuracy, aiming to improve both safety and efficiency in the field once fully deployed.

Precision That Makes a Difference

In landmine clearance, accuracy plays a critical role in creating safer working conditions. Our positioning technology targets centimetre-level precision—helping operators pinpoint exact locations and reducing potential risks in the clearance process.

"Centimetre-level accuracy can be pivotal in mine clearance operations," explains Adam Prescott, CTO of Nemiah. "We’ve collaborated with MiFi Maps to develop a system that maintains a high level of precision even in remote locations where traditional GPS often struggles."

The Multi-Rover Advantage

A major highlight of the solution is its capability to track multiple rovers simultaneously, which, once fully implemented, will allow teams to:

• Cover larger areas more efficiently
• Maintain consistent data quality throughout operations
• Create comprehensive digital records
• Ensure thorough area coverage without omissions

Technical Solutions for Field Challenges

We addressed several key challenges during development:

• Dual-Antenna Configuration: Redesigned hardware incorporates two antennas, significantly boosting directional accuracy.
• Integrated Control System: Consolidating multiple components on a single microcontroller improves reliability and simplifies field maintenance.
• Robust Communications: We engineered a wireless protocol that maintains connectivity under remote and challenging conditions.

Rebranding and Logo Design

We've also leveraged our full-stack capabilities to refresh the Mifi Maps brand:

• The new branding includes several key elements:
  • Utilises the natural alliteration of "Mifi Maps" for better brand recognition
  • Features a distinctive map pin icon to represent location services
  • Includes a tracking dot element to reinforce precision tracking technology
• This comprehensive rebrand aligns the visual identity with the core technological offerings
• The redesigned assets ensure consistency across all digital and physical touchpoints

User-Friendly Mobile Application

Understanding that ease of use is vital in high-pressure environments, we've created a user-friendly mobile app designed to offer:

• Real-time visualisation of rover positions
• Simple data export options
• Team coordination tools
• Progress tracking and access to historical records

Making a Tangible Impact

"Our goal is for this technology to become an integral part of active demining efforts. Once fully implemented, the system is expected to help teams work more confidently and efficiently, to reclaim land faster for conflict affected communities." - Patrick Truong, Founder - Mifi Maps

"We remain committed to our partnership with Mifi Maps as we continue refining this technology to support essential demining work around the world." - Adam Prescott, CTO - Nemiah
