Use case: Localization and tracking of ionizing products
Securing mine clearance operations against radiological bombs
Context
SMARTIUM has developed a solution for teams specializing in mine clearance operations, in collaboration with players in the security sector. These teams may be confronted with radiological bombs, also known as “dirty bombs”, which require extreme precautions to guarantee the safety of citizens and responders. The use of demining robots helps reduce risks by facilitating defusing and securing the intervention zone.
​
Challenges
A major challenge for intervention teams is the shielding of ionizing radiation, which complicates threat detection and can compromise the effectiveness of securing operations. The inability to accurately identify a radioactive source hidden behind obstacles can delay decision-making and increase the risks to teams and the population.​

Requirements
The customer is looking for a solution to correct the effects of screening in order to optimize the detection and identification of radiological threats. The aim is to provide teams with faster, more reliable analysis, enabling them to act with precision while minimizing exposure risks.​
Solutions provided
SMARTIUM has developed a solution integrating measurement sensors on-board the demining robot, coupled with an artificial intelligence model capable of correcting the effects of shelling. This approach enables :
​
-
Analyze data collected in real time, guaranteeing optimum responsiveness,
-
Precise identification of the nature and intensity of radioactive sources,
-
Reliable hazard assessment, even in the presence of obstacles or shielding.
​
Results
The solution developed by SMARTIUM has improved the efficiency of mine clearance operations:
-
Speed
Reduced intervention time, enabling risk areas to be secured more quickly,
-
Reliability
More reliable identification of threats, despite shielding effects,
-
Protection
Greater safety for teams and populations, limiting the risk of accidental exposure.​​​

Conclusion
SMARTIUM's solution represents a significant advance in the management of radiological threats in mine clearance. By combining on-board sensors and an AI-based screening correction system, this technology improves the speed and accuracy of operations.
