TIRAMISU

The TIRAMISU project aims at providing the foundation for a global Toolbox that will cover the main Mine Action activities, from the survey of large areas to the actual disposal of explosive hazards, including Mine Risk Education. The Toolbox produced by the project will provide Mine Action actors with a large set of tools, grouped into thematic modules. These tools will have been designed with the help of end-users and validated in mine affected countries. The TIRAMISU team includes organisations that were involved in the most important recent research projects in Mine Action. The TIRAMISU partners will build on their past experience of this topic, the strong links they have forged with Mine Action Centres, Demining operators and non-governmental organisations, to bring a Toolbox that will represent a genuine step forward in Mine Action by serving as the basis for a unifying, comprehensive and modular integrated solution. ISR will coordinate WP3000 – Field Tools for close-in detection, which include systems and methods for accurate localisation of explosive targets by means of novel sensors, and semi-autonomous demining platforms.
