About

Foxtrot Inc. is seeking R&D partners to jointly develop a UAV-based multi-sensor EO detection platform for humanitarian demining. The system focuses on surface-level detection of scatterable anti-personnel mines such as PFM-1, especially in vegetated and low-visibility environments.

Our current pipeline integrates:

  • RGB imaging for high-resolution visual inspection

  • LiDAR for ground-surface reconstruction and vegetation penetration

  • AI-based computer vision for anomaly detection and mine classification

  • UAV-based surveying optimized for wide-area operations

We aim to collaborate with organizations experienced in UAV sensing, LiDAR processing, geospatial analytics, synthetic datasets, signal processing, or operational demining research.

Target outcome:
A field-deployable multi-sensor detection module suitable for Eurasian grasslands (30–70 cm vegetation height) and winter low-contrast conditions.

We welcome collaborations with universities, R&D labs, sensor manufacturers, humanitarian engineering groups, or mine-action organizations interested in EO detection innovation.
