This Drone Wants to Rid The World Of Landmines In 10 Years

Kickstarter's Mine Kafon Drone campaign wants to use drones to wipe out landmines. A Netherlands-based Kicktstarter campaign wants to use drones to get rid of landmines in the next decade. The Mine Kafon Drone is an aerial vehicle that can map landmine-rich environments, do effective sweeping searches with metal detectors, and plant detonators before escaping to a safe distance--all without a single living foot touching the ground. It's a drone that could potentially save thousands of lives, with the body and chassis of something reminiscent of an Imperial Probe Droid. Still, the world would be a better place with a few hundred of these running around.
