Demining is an essential part of Ukraine’s reconstruction. The presentation introduced the local situation and the training for mine clearance. In addition to landmine clearance, the seminar also dealt with the survey of archaeological sites using underground exploration technology, as well as the survey of bodies and artifacts after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.

ALIS’s demining activities were introduced on YOUTUBE by the Prime Minister’s Office.

From the facebook of the Embassy of Japan in Ukraine…On November 20, JICA – Japan International Cooperation Agency delivered ALIS (Advanced Landmine Imaging System) to the SES (State Emergency Service of Ukraine) in order to strengthen Ukraine’s mine clearance capability by improving mine detection accuracy and mobility. The 50 landmine detectors and 40 special vehicles were delivered to the Ukrainian SES.

“Your Shizuoka Newspaper Site” reports that ALIS is being used to detect landmines in the Bucha Forest outside of Kiev. (The above site is in Japanese.)
