AI That Feels the Ground Before You Do
SafeStep uses advanced AI and computer vision to detect hidden landmines from aerial or ground-level imagery, transforming dangerous conflict zones into safe, reclaimed land for communities worldwide.
The Urgent Crisis
Over 60 million people globally live under constant threat from landmines buried in their communities. Traditional detection methods demand extraordinary sacrifice—they're dangerously slow, prohibitively expensive, and force demining personnel into harm's way with each step.
