Final Thesis Project
Thesis Problem Definition
The aim behind this thesis was to address the issue of the unexploded ordinance that can be found all over the world. Explosives such as landmines or IEDs that have been left behind from previous conflicts. A major issue that effects the lives of the individuals that live in these areas of the world.

A solution was devised to assist the individuals in not only safely searching for and removing these explosives, but also for traveling over suspected areas safely.
This solution is known as STRYDER
