Our Mine UXO Detection dogs standards are based on the United Nation Action Service (UNMAS).

 

Dogs can detect extremely low concentrations explosives. Dogs are capable of detecting concentrations that are several magnitudes lower than the detection threshold of the best technological “sniffers”. In mathematical terms, a human can smell concentrations of about one part per million (1 ppm), the best chemical analysers can “sniff” concentrations of abaout on part per billion, but dogs can smell concentrations of about one tenth of one part per trillion, or about ten thousand times smaller. Dogs can also discriminate between a variety of substances.

 

 

We can deploy our mine UXO detection dogs for:

• indicating individual mines,
• area reduction and delineation of minefield boundaries (technical    survey),
• mine and UXO verification (technical survey),
• clearance of roads and road verges,

       clearance verification, including the rapid sampling of cleared areas         (quality control),  which can be      done behind both manual and             mechanical de-mining,

• battle area clearence verification (removal of UXO),
• the elimination of pocket of land unreachable to mechanical clearance devies,
• clearance of railways and heavily contaminated sites,
• creation of safe lanes for clearance start points, and for many other purposes.
