Humanitarian aid organizations

Humanitarian mine clearance is facing growing challenges: 59 countries worldwide are affected by anti-personnel mines and 23 countries by cluster munitions. Despite intensive clearance efforts, these deadly legacies of conflict remain an acute threat to the civilian population – they block access to vital resources and hinder the reconstruction of affected regions.

Tasks & challenges

Humanitarian aid organizations perform indispensable work:

• the systematic clearance of contaminated areas
• risk education and hazard prevention
• victim care and the reconstruction of affected regions

In doing so, they face complex challenges:

• heavily mineralized and contaminated soils
• increasing threat from improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
• difficult-to-detect materials such as plastic or minimal metal components

Detection solutions

VALLON supports humanitarian mine clearance with detection systems that have been specially developed for these demanding tasks:

• highly sensitive metal detectors such as the VMH4 with interchangeable search coils for maximum flexibility
• Dual-sensor systems for the detection of metal-free objects
• Large-loop metal detectors VMX10 for efficient area clearance

Achieving impact together

Our close cooperation with our partners in the humanitarian mine clearance sector is the basis for continuous technological development and practical solutions. Through comprehensive technical training and support, we help to ensure that people can return home safely. This partnership lays the foundation for the sustainable reconstruction of affected regions and brings us step by step closer to our vision of a mine-free world.
