June 17–18, 2026 — Our SEAL SSTTC participated in the National Conference on Humanitarian Demining “UTTC Technology Week 2026.”

“UTTC Technology Week 2026” was dedicated to practical testing of scenarios for applying modern technologies in mine action processes, demonstrating the integration of technological solutions into real-world operational processes, and conducting expert discussions on the results of their application.

The event was attended by representatives of regional military administrations, central executive authorities, demining operators, equipment manufacturers (pyrotechnic devices, robotic systems, detection equipment, and demining support platforms), as well as representatives of international organizations.The event featured mechanized demining vehicles, robotic solutions, drones, communications equipment, and other technologies that are crucial for accelerating the clearance of territories. At the same time, practical discussions revealed that the environmental consequences of using such technologies—in particular, the impact of mechanized demining on fertile soils, forest belts, water regimes, agricultural landscapes, and the subsequent suitability of land for agricultural use—require separate applied research.

The SEAL SSTTC’s goal in participating in the event was to expand and deepen existing ties and establish new contacts with stakeholders in the field of mine action in Ukraine through an event organized in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme in Ukraine (UNDP), international organizations, and demining operators, with the aim of discussing the regulatory and methodological foundations for clearing territories of mines and explosive remnants of war, presenting technical solutions, analyzing environmental aspects, and coordinating approaches to personnel training.

All of the mission’s goals and objectives were achieved and fulfilled.
