Ukraine is testing a drone for demining of its own design

This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov.

ST1 is known to be an autonomous drone designed for mine detection. It is equipped with an inductance coil and sensors that allow it to navigate obstacles at low altitudes.

The device also features a powerful microcomputer that processes data and transmits it to sappers in real-time. In total, the ST1 works four times faster than a human, significantly expediting the demining process in Ukrainian territories and making it safer.

For example, sappers will be able to control the drone from a safe location while searching for mines. Developers are actively testing the experimental model under field conditions.

The team is collecting feedback, working on improvements, and preparing for production scaling.

It was previously reported that the Ministry of Defense had introduced several new UAV models for operation.
