Geophysicist wins Army Innovation Challenge🏆🧠 A proposal to hunt mines using uncrewed aerial technology has earned Sergeant Rick Henderson the Army Innovation Challenge 2023, Future Sight Category. His entry, selected from 35 submissions earlier this year, provided background and justification to use geophysical remote sensing techniques for the detection of unexploded ordinance, land mines, improvised explosive devices and other explosive and pyrotechnic hazards utilising an uncrewed aerial vehicle and geophysical tools for detection. “Sergeant Henderson’s idea holds significant merit and is extremely current given the challenges with de-mining, both historical and current, with mines in many parts of Africa, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and most recently in the Ukraine.” ~ Captain James Firestone, Army Innovation Manager Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gf5Vzyiy #Force4NZ #NZArmy
