Короткий огляд (реферат): The prolonged armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine since 2014 has generated the increasing public safety concern about landmines, abandoned unexploded ordnance (UXO) and small-size explosive remnants of war, which are spreading around the region of a conflict. Such ordnance can be used for making the improvised explosive devices (IED) as well. The background studies have identified the following key obstacles which make UXO demining and cleaning in that region challenging: an absence of government-endorsed national technical standards against which demining activity can be measured in crowded areas and non-permissive operating environment (i.e. public transport hubs and metro), and not enough human and technical capacity. Demining is carried out often using different techniques and outdated equipment. During the applied research project, the available open source international best practices and the UXO risk assessment methods were reviewed and assessed, firstly. Secondly, a new demining methodology was developed for improving the existing standard operating procedures of the bomb disposal units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU). Thirdly, a proof-of-concept was designed for field trials. A prototype of a light-weight smart steel cone was constructed which can cover small-size UXO in critical infrastructures like metro without using heavy commercial explosive ordinance disposal robots and causing a minimum impact to environment and ecology. Live field testing was conducted. Finally, based on the successful trials, the recommendations for the standard operating procedures (SOP) of the bomb disposal units of the SESU were produced. For example, this cone can be stored in metro station and easily transported by a security guard, who covers abandoned UXO. If an object goes off before the bomb squad arrives on site, then this device can efficiently protect the crowed area and environment from the bomb fragments. This new demining equipment was granted a patent.
Опис: The prolonged armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine since 2014 has generated the increasing public safety concern about landmines, abandoned UXO and small-size explosive remnants of war, which are spreading around the region of a conflict. Such ordnance can be used for making IEDs as well. One major public security concern is related to possible terrorist attacks to highly populated areas and critical infrastructures using UXO and IEDs. Due to reports1,5, from 14 April 2014 to 31 March 2020, the number of conflict-related civilian deaths caused by UXO has reached at least 3,353. The number of injured civilians is estimated to exceed 7,000. During the last two decades a revolutionary digitalization of IP-based closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance technologies and intelligent (sometime called smart) video content analytics opened new opportunities for automatic threat detection for security operators (e.g. public lawenforcement agencies and private security service providers). In the early 2000s, a number of applied R&D projects were carried out with regard to the development of intelligent digital CCTV surveillance systems. As reported by Samberg23- 25, one of the fields of applications is a public transport hub like metro, for instance. Today digital smart CCTV surveillance systems have a standard embedded function such as a detection of abandoned objects that have been left behind for a period of time. Based on the analyses of available open source handbooks and guides for UXO/IED safety and disposal8,10-16,21 the existing SOPs and methods for pyrotechnic teams are pretty much the same. Typically, there are nine steps of explosive’s clearance: detection, location, ccessibility, identification, hazard mitigation, threat evaluation, rendering safety area, recording and ecovering, and final disposal. The simplified typical procedure is the following. A suspiciously abandoned object is detected either manually or by means of smart CCTV surveillance system. An adequate perimeter is secured by security guard or police. After a received notification of bomb threat call a bomb squad is alerted. Only the designated technician will approach within close proximity of a suspicious object. Whenever possible, devices are to be rendered safe in place. UXO and IED unable to be rendered safe in place will be placed in a bomb carrier and transported to the bomb range or emergency "cook off" area for dismantling and/or detonation. UXO and IED may, on rare occasion, be detonated in place if deemed necessary for the safety of the public. Due to the individual interviews of experts22, in some public places the security personnel, who are not demining experts, are still instructed to remove an abandoned object by hands and place in a bomb carrier before the bomb squad arrives. Our major task was to design a smart device for UXO and IED hazard mitigation in non-permissive operating environment like public transportation stations (e.g. metro) where the use of bomb disposal robots (BDR) is very difficult or impossible.
