A CARDS AI based hardware and software solution using MAG, LIDAR, and other sensor technologies is currently in testing, with positive preliminary results. Approximately CAD $700,000,000 was spent by industry and Governance in 2018 to deal with this problem of LANDMINES AND EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS OF WAR (identify multiple APM and IED devices in a variety of terrain and contexts.
