Cost and Effectiveness Analysis Modeling for Demining Operations

摘要

This study's objectives were to assess the cost and operational effectiveness ofstate-of-the-art and emerging demining technologies, and to quantify the remaining challenges and potential benefits of developing new technologies. Its goals were to: (1) understand current demining operations and techniques; (2) identify the key cost and operational parameters which affect demining; (3) model demining operations and quantify the current methods in terms of these parameters; and (4) using this modeling tool, identify shortcomings and project potential improvements which could be provided by various new systems and technologies.
