I would like to begin by telling a story(or would like to present a case etc.)..

Similar cases have been observed all over the world. As we are dealing with land
mines, its not a joke! We have lives at stake and we need to find a better solution.
A report in 1994 claimed that there were over 100 million land mines in over 70
countries. It does indeed pose a serious threat as there are 600 different types of
mines. It is estimated that nearly 90% of these mines are anti-personnel. To this day
we still dont have a proper system for demining the minefields. We need to be
99.6% assured, as per the requirement of UN for humanitarian demining operations,
that the mines are present. So how do we overcome this problem?
Lets consider what are we doing so far regarding this issue.
First lets talk about landmines, what are they? They are containers containing
explosive material, and these containers are usually buried 15 cm below the
surface. There are currently more than 600 different types of landmines and these
can be grouped into two categories, namely, Anti-personnel (AP) and Anti-tank(AT)
and also nearly 90% of these mines are anti-personnel.
Lets consider the solutions that are being carried out. Till now there is no,
automatic or manual system to detect land mines with 99.6% reliability. The military
uses armored vehicles in humanitarian demining then minesweeping experts seek
out on foot to check the left over areas by the vehicle and we know this method
does cost a lot as vehicles are not cheap and it is not useable on different types of
terrain and it is risky.
So what is the solution? We have developed an Unmanned Air-Cushion
Vehicle(UACV), named as Hovercraft Detecting and Minesweeping System. As its
a hovercraft so there is no contact with the ground and at the same time it will be
close to the ground. A lot of aerial devices that detect are very high so their
detection is not good and it just tells you the area in such and such radius and then
you have to seek out and demine it. It is not costly and the most important benefit
is that it is safe, environmental-friendly and it will save lives.

I would like to talk on the issue of landmines, recently . So we can see that the
issue of landmines is not a joke! We have lives at stake regarding the removal of
landmines. A report in 1994 claimed that there were over 100 million land mines in
over 70 countries. It does indeed pose a serious threat as there are 600 different
types of mines. Why are these landmines dangerous? Time, as it passes by the
landmines become more dangerous as we know that the mines detonate if there is
weight on it and by the passage of time there are new layers formed on the surface
of the earth which makes it more sensitive to a small amount of weight. It is
estimated that nearly 90% of these mines are anti-personnel. To this day we still
dont have a proper system for demining the minefields. According to the UN
requirement for humanitarian demining operations we need to be 99.6% assured
that the mines are present.
Till now there is no, automatic or manual system to detect land mines with 99.6%
reliability. The military uses armored vehicles in humanitarian demining then
minesweeping experts seek out on foot to check the left over areas by the vehicle
and we know this method does cost a lot as vehicles are not cheap and it is not
useable on different types of terrain and it is risky. The other method used is that
they use drones to scan the area but that scanning is not perfect and the method is
costly too. So what is the solution? We have developed an Unmanned Air-Cushion
Vehicle(UACV), named as Hovercraft Detecting and Minesweeping System. As its
a hovercraft so there is no contact with the ground and at the same time it will be
close to the ground. It is not costly and the most important benefit is that it is safe,
environmental-friendly and it will save lives. As the most precious thing in this world
is your life!

Regarding the price: The price is cost-effective and I can assure you that it is way
more cheap than the previous methods.
Regarding the making: We have already done the calculations and the blueprint is
ready , now we just have to make it
