Abstract

UAVs or drones have found widespread use in both military and civilian purposes in recent years, and anti-drone systems have been created to reduce risks using AI and GPS systems. Drones were once intended for military use and deployed in high-risk areas; but, as technology advances, drones are becoming more inexpensive. Due to the growing demand for their use in the military, drones are expected to play an increasingly significant role in future military operations on terrorism and illegal migration. Drones are currently used for land mine detection because landmines still go undetected, increasing the death rate and wreaking havoc on the environment. They can be replaced for a low price, which makes them acceptable for risky and politically sensitive operations. The goal of this project is to use a surveillance drone built to detect landmines to detect mines. A quad copter with a mine detector is placed to the prototype. This uses two separate detecting modalities, one of which is an induction metal detector. These are widely utilized to assist with the entire operation. The GPS was used to track the mine’s location, and the location was recognized and ...
