Defense technology startup Broswarm, specializing in mine clearance processes, raised $100,000 in funding from the Lithuanian venture fund ScaleWolf.
This is stated in the press release, which is at the disposal of the editors.
Investments for mine clearance
The investment allows the Broswarm team to continue developing multi-sensor technology for remote detection of small mines and other explosive objects. Before launching the project to market, Broswarm plans to conduct a number of field tests in Ukraine. According to the 2023 Landmine Monitor report, mine explosive devices and explosive remnants of war (ERW) caused 4,710 casualties, including deaths and injuries, in 49 countries and two non-state regions. Of these victims, 85% were civilians, with half of them — children The situation remains especially difficult in Ukraine, where, according to President Vladimir Zelensky, 174,000 km², or more than 30% of the country’s territory, is mined. According to the international organization HALO Trust, an estimated 2 million landmines have been laid in Ukraine since February 2022, and the World Bank estimates the cost of clearing Ukraine of mines at $37 billion. According to the government, Ukraine's current demining capabilities include 20 pieces of equipment and 3,000 specialists.
Tasks in Ukraine
Broswarm aims to make its contribution to the demining of Ukrainian territories with the help of drones using machine learning technology. Central to the Broswarm approach are advanced sensory arrays and multisensor fusion for drones, integrating metal detectors, magnetometers, thermal imaging cameras and HD cameras.
- In addition, this approach includes a sensor with breakthrough technology developed by Broswarm, which is in the process of patenting
- It allows you to find small objects that were previously impossible or extremely difficult to detect
- Machine learning algorithms analyze sensor data and identify mines with extreme accuracy and efficiency, even in challenging climates and terrain.
