THE PROBLEM
THE WAR ENDS. THE MINES STAY.
Embedded Files
Nearly 30% of Ukraine — approximately 170,000 km², almost twice the size of Austria — is contaminated with landmines and explosive remnants of war.
Every year, nearly 600 people are killed or injured by mines in Ukraine.
93% of the victims are civilians, 30% are children.
As communities return home and agricultural activity resumes, incomplete or poorly executed demining could dramatically increase casualties. According to the UN, NATO and the Red Cross full clearance may take decades.
WHY DETECTION DOGS MATTER
WHY DETECTION DOGS MATTER
MACHINES DETECT METAL. DOGS DETECT EXPLOSIVES.
MACHINES DETECT METAL. DOGS DETECT EXPLOSIVES.
Despite advances in sensor technology, explosive detection dogs remain the most effective operational assets in humanitarian demining and tactical explosive search.
Instrument-based Detection Systems
Instrument-based Detection Systems
Detect metallic components only
Reduced effectiveness in metal-contaminated terrain
Limited mobility on uneven, ruined or forested environments
Explosive Detection Dogs
Explosive Detection Dogs
Detect explosive odor directly
High operational accuracy even in metal-contaminated terrain
Effective in rubble, forests and difficult-to-access environments

There is a global shortage of trained detection dogs.
Protecting them is:
an operational priority,
an animal welfare priority,
and an economic necessity.
PACKBOND TECHNOLOGY
PACKBOND TECHNOLOGY
HUMAN + DOG + AI = ONE OPERATIONAL SYSTEM.
HUMAN + DOG + AI = ONE OPERATIONAL SYSTEM.
PackBond integrates the handler, the detection dog and artificial intelligence into a unified operational system.
The human agent leads strategic decision-making.
The canine agent contributes to the operational system through biological sensing, adaptive environmental decision-making and mobility.
The AI agent enhances operational safety through real-time physiological assessment and adaptive decision support.
