X-Ray Eagle sensor utilizes advanced radio waves to generate crystal-clear, 3D visualizations of buried objects
The global challenge of landmine contamination continues to plague war-torn regions, but a beacon of hope has emerged from Vilnius, Lithuania. Broswarm, a cutting-edge defense tech startup, recently secured a significant €800,000 in funding from ScaleWolf, a hybrid accelerator and fund dedicated to defense technology. This investment is set to supercharge the development of Broswarm's groundbreaking "X-Ray Eagle" sensor, promising a new era in mine detection.
Traditional demining efforts are often hampered by outdated technology, requiring painstaking, near-ground detection that's prone to false positives. In Ukraine alone, where over 30% of the land is suspected to be mine-contaminated, this inefficiency poses a massive obstacle to recovery, impacting everything from agriculture to military mobility.
Broswarm's X-Ray Eagle is poised to change this narrative entirely. This innovative sensor utilizes advanced radio waves to generate crystal-clear, 3D visualizations of buried objects. What truly sets it apart is its ability to be mounted on drones, operating from up to 10 meters above ground and detecting mines up to 0.5 meters deep. This capability drastically reduces false positives and provides demining teams with unprecedented visual data, making operations safer, faster, and far more efficient.
The technology's potential hasn't gone unnoticed. The X-Ray Eagle earned Broswarm first place at the prestigious NATO Innovation Challenge, a testament to its disruptive capabilities. Ernestas Žvaigždinas, Co-Founder and CEO of Broswarm, emphasized the game-changing accuracy: "The visuals produced by our sensor are so clear, they’re almost like photographs, offering teams a completely new way to quickly and safely assess buried threats."
Edvinas Skerza, Managing Partner at ScaleWolf and former Vice Minister of Defense of Lithuania, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the strategic importance of Broswarm's work. "Governments around the world are making landmine detection and clearance a priority," Skerza stated. "Their X-Ray Eagle sensor technology will offer an unmatched advantage, positioning them well ahead in landmine detection." He also noted its potential to support troops in maneuvering faster and more safely through mine-infested front lines.
With this substantial funding, Broswarm plans to accelerate its research and development, refine and patent the X-Ray Eagle technology, and ultimately achieve a field-ready prototype for large-scale deployment, including further field tests over the next 12 months. The company has also recently brought on a globally recognized physicist and inked a collaboration contract with the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence, solidifying its commitment to real-world impact.
Broswarm isn't just developing a sensor; they're forging a critical tool that could redefine humanitarian demining and military operations, promising to return safe land and save countless lives in conflict zones worldwide.
