The SAFEDEM project has three main objectives.

The first one is to define a concept for a system and its associated services based on existing space assets - namely Earth Observation, Navigation, Communication - to support the various levels of the Land Release process and, more generally, of the humanitarian demining activities.

The second objective is to perform a proof of concept to validate the proposed approach, using satellite images and the associated image analysis techniques, and a mobile mapping platform associated to a mobile broadband shared network based on Satellite Navigation (NAV) and Satellite Communication (COM) space assets.

The third objective is to analyze the economic and non-economic viability of the system and services.

All the objectives have been reached in a completely user-driven way, with a direct and deep involvement of the potential final users of the system and services.
