IMECA-based Security and Safety Analysis of Intelligent UAV Systems for Demining

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of Intelligent Unmanned Systems for Demining (IUSD) using a multi-sensor platform approach. The study emphasizes the integration of security and safety protocols through the application of the IMECA technique to assess potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in demining operations. The research identifies and categorizes various threats, evaluating their likelihood and potential impact, culminating in the development of a risk criticality matrix. This matrix serves as a critical tool for prioritizing risks, enabling more effective countermeasures that optimize security while minimizing costs. The findings contribute to enhancing the operational efficiency and safety of IUSD, paving the way for future innovations in the field of unmanned systems and demining practices.
