Joint Venture · Mine & UXO Detection
SubTerra Intelligence is a joint venture building a deterministic mine and unexploded-ordnance detection and mapping platform. We're starting where the need is most immediate — agricultural land in Ukraine — and working toward all 139,000 km² over time.
One Solution
Better, faster, safer UXO and mine mapping — saving lives and growing the economies that depend on the land beneath them.
Making ground safe again. We detect and precisely map mines and unexploded ordnance from the air — deterministically, faster and more safely than any existing method — so that clearance teams can act on confirmed locations instead of searching blind, and land can return to safe, productive use for the people and economies that depend on it.
Beyond the one-time clearance cost, blocked land costs Ukraine an estimated €10.1 billion in GDP every year it stays uncleared. Detection and mapping are the bottleneck — clearance can only move as fast as it knows where to go, and at today's pace, full clearance is estimated to take 10 to 70 years.
The Platform
A partial-vacuum lift carrier platform that flies sensor payloads over contaminated ground, built for extended, self-sufficient field operation.
Up to nine sensor technologies working together — magnetometer, GPR, LiDAR, SAR, thermal and more. Six of the nine are light-independent, enabling round-the-clock survey.
A deterministic detection engine: it classifies only when evidence matches validated precedent, and defers to a human expert when it's uncertain.
Why This Wins
One platform, multiple sensors, continuous coverage — day and night. No waiting for battery swaps or shift changes.
Aerial triage narrows down where ground teams actually need to go, instead of surveying everything on foot.
No one enters a field until the system has already shown where the real risk is. When it's uncertain, it asks — it never guesses.
Multi-sensor fusion catches what any single sensor misses — deterministic, traceable decisions, defensible to donors and authorities.
Where We Are
SubTerra Intelligence was founded by three technology companies who each already build a piece of this system — not as a pitch, but as a working partnership with equal ownership and shared execution.
