The issue of landmines in Ukraine unfortunately remains relevant for many years, thus the need for reliable mine detectors continues to grow. We propose a technological innovation to address the challenges of military and humanitarian demining — a patented SMART system with intelligent functions of both metal detectors and mine detectors. This Ukrainian-made product incorporates modern technological solutions based on the best global developments and practical experience, including in the conditions of active military operations.

Aider is the world's first SMART mine detector based on Bluetooth technology. Aider introduces a modern concept for mine detection technology. By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and software combined with iOS and Android smartphones, it unlocks possibilities and functions that were previously unimaginable.

Enhanced productivity is achieved through software capabilities, allowing for the addition of new features through application updates and interface adaptation to specific tasks.

Drawing on 12 years of treasure hunting experience and 10 months of military and civilian demining in Ukraine, Aider has established a new standard for intelligent demining. The device transforms a mobile phone into an accessible and highly effective mine detector.

Continuous work on improving the technical components and software of the Aider metal detector expands its capabilities for both military and civilian tasks. Priority directions for further development include enhancing ergonomics, increasing the level of intelligent SMART functions, and incorporating cutting-edge digital solutions. Today, Aider stands as the most promising technology that addresses user needs across various application domains.

Technical specifications of the device:

• Battery life: up to 10 hours 
• Frequency: 7.5 kHz 
• Metal detector type: IB VLF (Induction Balance Very Low Frequency) 
• Coil: smart DD-coil, 23 cm 
• Detection depth for mines: 80 cm 
• Standard USB charging device

The Aider metal detector can be used for conducting humanitarian demining and other tasks in civilian conditions such as archaeological, repair, construction work, and searching for valuable items. Simply download the mobile application, and all control options for the metal detector become available on your smartphone.
